There's a variation on this: as the "magic" minute approaches, send the user
a confirmation (Your session is about to expire, do you want to continue?).
If you don't get an answer to this confirmation in a "reasonable" (short)
time :-) then kill the session. This way the session can be legitimately
prolonged, for those who need it.

Best,
