You didn't mention if you were running Gnome or KDE.  If it's Gnome,
it's likely a setting in your ~/.gnome/session file or the global
/usr/share/gnome/default.session file, specifically the warn-delay
or the suicide-delay settings.  Both default to 10 seconds.  See
"man gnome-session" for details.
