I do have one small problem though:
I also set TMOUT=3600.
If ksh times out while I have "trap..." set, I get a message 
ksh: setcooked failed  ksh: shelledit
and it doesn't do the .logout (which just posts .login + logout time to a file)
I want both the TMOUT and the '.logout' functions to work.

That's strange. I run ksh on a variety of systems (suns,3b2s,rts,vaxen) and
I have both 'trap "$HOME/.logout" EXIT' and 'TMOUT=600' set, and when
the shell times out, my .logout is executed, no problem.
