Are you sure you want to do this?  If, for example, you opened a
document and started editing it and then got a phone call so that it
caused an auto-logout, the result would be that of closing the editor
without saving your changes first.

Is the option of locking the desktop on idle not sufficient (so you
are left logged in but must enter password to continue)?
