I don't know if this will work or not but there used to be a load balancing
reg key that you can specify to make a workstation look busier than it is.
If the workstation appears busy it may not go into idle state I dont know
where this was put in XP cause it uses ima.... the other thing you might
want to get is some sort of screen saver on the workstation that runs and
uses cpu to make it appear busy.
.....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ ICABrowser\Parameters
BalanceBias REG_DWORD 0 - 0xffffffff (0 = default)
After all load balance calculations are done, BalanceBias is added to the
resulting load level. An idle system has a very small load level, a busy
system a larger load level. By specifying a positive number here, a system
can be made to look busier than it actually is. By specifying a negative
number (for example, 0xfffffff0) a system can be made to look less busy.

You got it right.
You don't' really have many options here. Either you go with server based
limitations, or you set the ICA connection settings on the server to
'inherit client config' and setup the user accounts in your domain with the
20 minute idle session limitation.
If the domain is windows 2000, you 'Might' be able to use ADSI scripting to
change the 'idle session' timeout variable for all the users in one pass.
(haven't personally done it, but it should be possible, if anyone else has
done this . . and wants to insert some tips feel free).
Otherwise, your customer is going to be stuck making modifications to all
their users domain accounts . . . in order to stop a single user from being
logged out when they run their reports.

Subject: [THIN] Idle session limit...
I have a customer who is running TSE 4.0 w/ Metaframe XPa FR1. He has the
Idle Session Limit set for 20 minutes for the ICA-TCP Protocol, thus setting
the default for the machine and overriding any user specified settings. Now
he needs one user to be set for unlimited as the user keeps getting logged
off after 20 minutes while running long reports.
I suggested that he set not the ICA-TCP protocol for a Idle Session Limit
and instead set a 20 minute idle session limit in the user properties
instead. That way he as more granular control over the idle session limit
on a per-user bases. He didn't like that idea as he says there are lot of
users that would need to modified.
Any other ideas? Reghacks? Any programs which will keep the session marked
active instead of idle? Obviously MF FR2 or GPOs won't work since he is
running TSE 4.0.
