Not quite what you're looking for, but timeoutd is a tool for limiting time in 
sessions, including idle time.
Stephen is correct in that the typical requirement is to lock the session 
(require a password to continue), rather than logout, since logout would have 
to exit all of your running programs, and most people don't want to loose their 
magnum opus in LibreOffice Writer just because they had to take a coffee break 
and forgot about the auto-logout.
