I've just made a test, after adding the "* 24".

I changed MythWeb settings at 16:40 and the cookie expiration date for 
"mythweb_id" at "/" was "2006-05-01 16:40:05", as expected.

Then I closed the browser, waited 3 minutes, opened the browser, went to 
MythWeb and "Upcoming recordings".

Looking at the same cookie as before, it still has the same expiration 
date and time. So date/time wasn't refreshed by simply surfing MythWeb.

Then I changed my settings again and still the date and time of the 
cookie did not change.

This is the behavior, I observed under 0.18, too.

So, it is not a matter of bumping up the timeouts, but of refreshing the 
date and time on each visit.

I am using Firefox 1.5 under Linux and my MythWeb is at 
"http://192.168.0.7:81/mythweb/" on another computer.
