Well, there alre legal reasons why client wouldnt talk for a long time.
For example, having a connection pool, and web application not being accessed 
too much.
These "legal" states are usually when no transaction is active on connection -
maybe we could modify the timeouts to reflect that (allow client to keep quiet 
when no transaction
is active for indefinite time, while be more aggressive in checking clients 
presence/timeouts when
transaction is active and resources are being held by it.
