I use a 30 min idle-timeout and a 5 hour session timeout and I have little
problems. Usually if a user complains I will remove their timeouts. This has
only happened on 1 - 2 accounts.

Yes, I had the same experience with the Idle-Timeout.

I set an idle-timeout of 20 minutes for all dialup users, and got so many
complaints that it seemed better for our reputation to just let them stay on
as long as they wanted.
