keeping session alive with "live monitor"

Like a lot of other systems, FreeNATS will time out and request a new login if I've not done anything for a while. It appears, however, that LiveMonitor refreshing is counted as activity, and if I leave a LiveMonitor up, the baddies can come up to my keyboard and make changes which will then be blamed on me. Of course, I can prevent access by putting a password on the screensaver, so it shouldn't be considered a bug.
Question: was this a deliberate design choice, or did it just fall out from normal session handling?
