Thank you for your suggestion. This is a different way to solve the same 
problem and I am not sure about which one I prefer. Showing the sessions 
in the DB was my first attempt (I could not find a way to do that with 
the API, so I got them with SQL, then "tie", not a pleasant sight).

In my installation, if a person keeps using RT to update a ticket with 
new details, but never looks back at the homepage (which is the way 
people here learn about new tickets to take ownership of), I don't want 
that person listed in the box. That's because the reason I am doing this 
is to let people know who is looking at the list of new tickets in order 
to service them. For me, having the session active and making a request 
to RT is not enough.

Besides, setting AutoLogoff is good for security, but as such can be 
annoying if that security is not needed.

Anyway, if someone stays in the home page with the autorefresh and 
simply walks away, he will show up in my box as well as in your 
suggested box.

I can change the title to "Who had this page sent to a browser, maybe 
displayed on a monitor, and possibly seen (last 5 min)".
