That's where cron comes in. Just make your flag a time, and update it each
request. cron then removes any that are older than some preset time and
*poof* they are then logged out. They try to access again and you see they
have a cookie, yet are logged out and you say "Sorry, you session has
expired".

Why? What if they want two windows open at the same time? Is that
allowed? That design limitation sounds like it's going to make trouble.
