Remember, its 15-min of "inactivity"... I know I get caught by this when I get interrupted by phone calls, physical needs breaks, etc. (and simply walk away from the PC for an extended period -- sometimes hours )

There must be a downside else the default timeout wouldn't be set so low (but I admittedly don't have the faintest idea what it is at the moment ).
