Preference keeps reverting

Hi.
I have an eMac running OS 10.4.4 which was recently updated from 9.2.2.

Additional stats, if they help:
700 MHz PowerPC G4
384 MB SDRAM

Anyway, I have a problem with it logging me out when I'm idle for 30 minutes. If I uncheck that box under security settings or change the time, it will log me out a few hours later and when I return to that preferences screen, the settings have reverted to where the "Log out after xx minutes of inactivity" box is checked and it says 30 minutes again.

I thought it might be a corrupt file but PreferentialTreatment says I'm fine.
I have noticed that if I click "Refresh Preferences" on the login screen, the problem goes away for up to a day.

Please help, it is rather irritating to have to log in every few hours.
