Try this:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter check-alive-timeout 10000
Value is in ms so 10000=10s. You can also set it to 0 to disable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

P.S Do you know of a way to browse other gsettings keys?
If you mean with a gui then this is one tool:
I don't mind either way. This works - thanks :)
is there a KDE equivalent (preferably per app)
