Chat Room claims that idle users have left chat

Chat Room by default updates the message pane every 5 seconds. So if someone doesn't update within a 5-second period, it assumes they have left the chat. Obviously, if the update request is delayed, Chat Room will falsely report that the user has left.

A temporary solution would be to replace the 5 on line 1093 of chatroom.module with a larger number. The ideal solution would be to use the update frequency for the room and increase it by an amount of time that would account for delayed requests.

Temporary fix applied in CVS commit 52649.
