[Techtalk] system logs me out unpredictably

[Carla Schroder]

My kubuntu gutsy system logs me out during periods of inactivity. It's not 
consistent, but it's happening often, at least every other day. I'll fire it 
up, do a bunch of work, then go off and leave it. When I come back it's 
sitting at the KDM login screen. It's not rebooting, just ending my session. 
I've checked all the settings I can think of, looking for some weird "log 
user out when I'm bored" setting, and reviewed system log files, but I'm not 
finding anything helpful. Any ideas? I suspect 'weirdo buntu glitch', since 
they innovate weird glitches, but I'm stumped at what else to do to diagnose 
the problem.

thanks!
Carla
