Ahhh, I thought 5 minutes seemed much shorter than my own experiences. 
That now makes sense.

Could you explain a little more here please? If a session idles out 
after 30 minutes and I have to login again anyway what is the "lifespan" 
timer actually for?

Yes, I am thinking of using the javascript setTimeout() function for 
this. Am I correct in assuming that I should use the "ExtendSession" 
webservices call to refresh the session timer?

Interesting. I will make the Javascript timeout parameter user 
configurable in that case, with a suitable default.

Thanks again,
