I just fired up my laptop to answer another question on the
list. It has already been 5 minutes since I did anything. With the
screen saver at 5 minutes it would have dropped out. Then I would come
back to it and bring up the darn password panel! While working on it
this computer, if it had the same setup would drop out. It is for me a
bad idea.
