Automatic Logout after inactivity from KDE

Automatic Logout after inactivity from KDE Suse 9.2
In a shared workstation situation (at home) it would be nice to have all users logout of KDE automatically after a period of inactivity (like Windows XP), and return the display to the logon screen. Is there a way for root to modify each user profile, or is there a global setting? Sorry for such a basic question; I am having trouble finding on this site as well as SUSE.

THANKS!

It was actually pretty difficult for me to find this. I recommend you bookmark it, or you may never see it again.

Automatic Logout

          ================

          

          Since KDE 3.4 it is possible to automatically logout users that have been idle

          for a certain period of time.

          

          WARNING: Be careful with this option, logging out a user may result in dataloss!

          

          In kdesktoprc you can use the following entry to enable automatic logout:

          

          [ScreenSaver]

          AutoLogout=true

          AutoLogoutTimeout=600

          

          The AutoLogoutTimeout is the time in seconds that the user has to be idle before

          his session is logged out.

that's a pretty nice feature, too bad it's not available in kde 3.3.2.
