I am sure there is a way that has been talked about, but the way I would do
it (off the top of my head) is to use javascript to output a message box
just before (30 seconds say) the session expires (nothing back to the
server) saying "Your session is about to expire. Continue?" that when
clicked would open up a pop-up window that says "Thank you" and then the
pop-up window closes itself. The opening of the pop-up window keeps the
session open. If the message box is clicked after the 30 seconds or however
long it is, then the window comes up saying "Your session expired" and
anything else you want to say and you can lob the user back to the login
screen.
