---------------------------------------

Hi Philipp,

Here is what I propose :

we could add an ezcAuthenticationSessionOptions::idleTimeout attribute that 
would be used to handle user inactivity.

This could be used in conjunction with 
ezcAuthenticationSessionOptions::validity in the following way.

ezcAuthenticationSessionOptions::validity handles the global timeout for the 
session, but if ezcAuthenticationSessionOptions::idleTimeout is isset (and 
inferior to ezcAuthenticationSessionOptions::validity) then the system will 
handle that attribute as well.

As an example here is how you could configure the session : 
validity : 1 hour
idleTimeout : 10 minutes

You would get 
$options = new ezcAuthenticationSessionOptions();
$options->validity = 3600;
$option->idleTimeout = 600;

That way is the user is inactive for more than 10 minutes, his session is 
removed, if not his session is removed after 1h anyway.

What do you think ?

> I would expect a session timeout after 10 seconds __OF INACTIVITY__. But it
