Why don't you just ignore it like everyone else :-) That var is a logout timer. After that many seconds of inactivity your bash will terminate. As a security measure this var is read only. If you start a second login shell in a terminal (the first one is your X session AFAIK), it tries to set this var but without success. You could try to add a check to that script to check for the value of TMOUT before trying to set it.
