How to set time-out

Very cool. I would limit it to mouse move events myself. We could really use
the feature here. Thanks for the feedback!

The semantics of IdleTimeout are currently to disconnect only if there are
input events or update requests from the viewer. If you have a clock
updating in the taskbar, for example, nothing more than a minute will have
any effect.

It would be possible to add more control to what IdleTimeout means, will
consider it for a future release.

Andy
