[Papyon] Issue with switchboards

[Youness Alaoui]

Yes, we saw this issue a few times with aMSN too.. turns out that the
switchboard itself is bugged...
The issue started a few months ago, maybe a year even.. the switchboards should
disconnect you after 5 minutes and send BYE..
but sometimes.. some SBs don't... they never tell you you left, they don't tell
you the other person left.. so you think the SB is still active.. but they just
stop responding...
The solution we had to do in aMSN is to do the same thing as WLM : leave the SB
after 1 minute of inactivity.. there was no other solution we could find.
I suggest that papyon does it, otherwise all clients would need to reimplement
this protocol-specific glitch..
