Hi Alan,
Stab in the dark, are you running xscreensaver?
if so, have a look at your $HOME/.xscreensaver file
the first four entries are the interesting ones. I can't remember
which, but one of these was set to 2 minutes, so I upped it to 10 hours
and haven't had a problem since.
setting it to zero might disable it altogether, not sure.


timeout:        10:00:00
cycle:          0:01:00
lock:           False
lockTimeout:    10:00:00

I think it might have been "lockTimeout 00:02:00 or something I remember
trying to see if it was a gui setting and not finding one until I saw it
in the file.

But this may not be your problem at all.
Best of luck.
