[OpenAFS] renewing token under X11

Since my AFS  token expires every 24 hours (or so??),  every once in a
while a process will try to write to AFS space and fail. I'm on a
Linux box. How do all y'all deal with this? In my mind's eye I see a
daemon running that  pops up an authentication window  when it notices an
attempt to access  unauthenticated AFS space. I guess  some people use
the pam  module and a screen locker,  but sometimes I go  more than 24
hours without  locking my screen.  Guess that's not secure  enough for
AFS, is it...
