Thanks for the feedback Hugh - that seems reasonable.

Oh, I hadn't considered that.

Now I'm wondering why mine (KDE) would do if left at log-in screen.

Thinking back, I recently set up a laptop for remote access, returned 
home, logged in, and it shut down moments later. Neglected to disable 
power saving shut-downs.

Entirely reasonable.
