Hum, could it be that you don't have the C shell enviromental variable
"autologout" set to zero?  We had a similar problem here with Ultrix

There is no such thing as "X Windows", there is X, X11, the "X Window System",
but no "X Windows".  The one thing that the X Consortium asks is
that you do not call their contribution "X Windows"...
