Actually.. there's still a misunderstanding.  The timeout you changed affects 
how long a user can take to complete the cas login process.  For a default 
configuration.. 5 minutes is likely plenty.  A user is shown the login form, 
and has 5 minutes to hit submit.  If they don't within that time period, CAS 
assumes the session is abandoned and shows a fresh login screen at next request.

You want to change the timeout for a ticket that is granted, so that a user is 
not timed out of a casified application in the middle of doing something.  This 
is common, and easily configured in CAS.  See 
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Ticket+Expiration+Policy .

Thanks,
