To keep the server from dropping the connection even though we haven't sent any 
client queries in a while.

My time and billing app goes against my remote MySQL server, and sometimes I 
leave 
the app open all day, then enter a line item and press "save", and boom! Dabo 
bails 
out of the app completely (sys.exit()) because the connection is gone and we 
don't 
have a way to handle it.

I think that the bailing out completely needs to be looked at (I don't even get 
a 
chance to copy my information to the clipboard first?) but the 
KeepAliveInterval may 
help the problem from happening in the first place.

Actually, it won't even help in the case where I put my laptop to sleep and 
open it 
again in a few hours - the server will have already dropped the connection, so 
it is 
indeed something to be experimented with sparingly.
