For the inetd world I agree. But here we use vnc for stateless connections.
We start a process, powerdown our laptop, goto hotel, next morning we can
reconnect and see what it is doing. A time out would affect this operation.

The problem is, the user has not logged out, and nobody/nothing (except
maybe the VNC server) knows that the user has been disconnected. For
example, the network connection between viewer and server breaks. Xvnc and
the session & application continue to run on the server, forever.
I am hoping Xvnc implements some sort of keepalive and eventually detects it
has lost communication with the viewer.
