I think you will have to enable session state = true if you are using session variables in your code, not for the general session timeout. By default SharePoint web.config has SqlServer session state but you can change it (to the sessionState mode="InProc" depending on scenario.)
I had people timing out in 30 minutes on forms authentication site and setting timeout in web.config for <forms timeout=100> fixed it. Don't know about windows authentication though...maybe the setting you have sent may do the trick.
