[sabayon] Session time-out and clean-up with Sabayon and Pessulus?

["Sean Hammond" <sean hammond gmail com>]

Hello Sabayon,

I'm managing a small, public Internet access setup using Ubuntu/GNOME
in a cafe here in Edinburgh*. There are two things that really annoy
us:

1. You're only supposed to use our computers for 20 mins at a time to
let other people have a try, but some people will persistently hog
them for a long time, and most customers are too polite to ask.

2. Many people will download documents to the desktop, change the
desktop background, change the icons, and otherwise try to be smart
with us, so someone has to keep checking and correcting changes.

There was a thread on edubuntu-devel** that discussed a session
time-out and integrated desktop clean-up feature for GNOME, and Corey
Burger suggested we might be able to script something in Python using
Sabayon and Pessulus.

I searched this mailing list archive (didn't take long!), so now I'm
getting in touch with Sabayon. Basically, I'm interested in
implementing a 20-minute session timeout with warnings and integrated
session clean-up. I've read the Sabayon page and the Pessulus page
(and this email is also going to Vincent of pessulus) and now I'm
getting in touch and asking for some pointers to get started on this.

Thanks for any help!
