Karen, I have found it does not work in dialogs and forms - basically if waiting for the user to make a keystroke, timeout is disabled. Very annoying.

It is dependent on where the focus is when the user the user gets involved with [iplanonmeetingmentonightatthesinglesbar/ibetthehometeamwinstonight/howdoyoulikemynewhairstyle/ijustboughtanewredbmwmgirlcatcher] and forgets to close down the application.
