Not a solution but a possible workaround for mod_auth_cas is to set
CASTimeout to 15 or 20 minutes to prevent the session from going
stale.

That won't help if the user is idle for an hour but there is a
workaround for that too: include a hidden <iframe> on each page that
refreshes every once in a while.
