I'm assuming you are using 20 minutes because that's what session
variables time out at by default...
So... just check for the existence of the session variable(s) you set when
they do login at the top of all pages which really need it. If they
navigate to a page that needs them to be logged in redirect them to the
login page with instructions that they sat idle too long.
For the love of God don't try and close down an application on the user's
desktop just because they sat idle too long.
