[tor-talk] keep session for more than 10 minutes

I too am looking for an answer to this.  Using the vanilla Tor browser 
your identity changes (based on IP) automatically.  While that enforced 
anonymity is good in many cases, sometimes it makes a site impossible to 
use.  Personally for my Tor use I would like it ONLY to switch exit 
nodes when I hit the Use a New Identity button and on starting Vidalia.

I'm totally new and couldn't find a better solution than Snake Taste.  
Is it possible it's this:

*KeepalivePeriod* /NUM/

    To keep firewalls from expiring connections, send a padding
    keepalive cell every NUM seconds on open connections that are in
    use. If the connection has no open circuits, it will instead be
    closed after NUM seconds of idleness. (Default: 5 minutes)
