Such a functionality is not needed for desktop (local) usage, but it 
is something to consider for the server. I mean being able to find 
out the locks and clear them on user by user basis (or all at once). 
Disconnecting affected users will probably be appropriate but may be 
just reporting cursor timeouts will do. You may also want to support 
a warm restart of the server -- restart without having to relaunch. 
Since servers are often operated remotely, having to physically 
restart it should be the last resort IMHO.
