I keep running into a situation where I have successfully logged into a remote shell via SSH, used it for a while, stepped away for a couple of minutes...only to find the Terminal window unresponsive to the keyboard. The only thing I can do is close the window (not via exit, the keyboard doesn't "work") via a mouse click and then start a new window.

Needless to say, this is extremely annoying :).

Is there some kind of timeout setting in Terminal that I need to adjust? If so, where is it?
