Good idea but a little heavy handed. I would preferably do it when you
first connect to the wiki after an hour of non-activity, and just save a
cookie session id. Or maybe the first time you *edit* after an hour of
non-activity. Something like that. I'll write a plugin for that soon,
and maybe we can leave the kwiki open.
