to connect to the vm's. I've written a quick script that runs on the
engine and tails the engine log looking for disconnects then reboots the
vm when a disconnect is seen from a non-admin user, but i'm not familiar
enough with how things are intended to work in the backend to know if my
script is needed or if i'm just unaware of a certain feature or function.

i think a screen saver inside the guest shutting it down after being 
idle for X minutes may be a good approach.


otherwise, an RFE for Return VM to pool if no users connected for X 
minutes would be needed.
