"idled" the thing that wouldn't die

[Tom <tjm1@thorn.net>]

I decided to try the idled package which disconnects users after being
idle for a specified period of time.  When I first discovered that it
does not recognize someone in X as using the machine I tried to
uninstall it using dselect.  After rebooting I was still being kicked or
the system after 60 minutes.  I went back to dselect and purged the
application. rebooted.  No change.  Next I decide to reinstall, but  to
modify the config file. I tried to change the default idle time before
log out to 300 minutes from 60.  I also added my user name to the exempt
list.  Rebooted. This all had no effect.  
My current idea is to remark out the line which loads this thing at boot
up.  I am not sure how to do that, or even which file I need to edit. 
Any help is appreiciated.  Thanks

By the way, is it really necessary to reboot to turn of a daemon? 
Thanks
