that's because sessions depends on cookies stored on the clients and  
so KLone cannot control them.

you can overwrite the default value setting the session.max_age key in  
the config file:

---[ kloned.conf ]---
...
session
{
	type    file

	# age in seconds
	max_age 	600
}
...

when a session expires all variables in it disappear so you can try to  
get a known variable and, if it does not exist, create a new session  
(the same happens the first time a client fetchs a page from your  
webapp).

for example:

------
...

if(session_get(session, "user_logged_in") == NULL)
     ; /* new user or expired session */

...
