PL/SQL Developer hangs when network connection breaks

[Dirk.RSMG]

Hi,
I'm very often working via VPN on remote systems. When network connection breaks PL/SQL Developer hangs. Sometimes it takes more than 30 minutes until it's "back" again. Most often I have to kill the application and have to hope that most windows will be restored.
Is there any configuration parameter to solve this problem or reduce the lock time to i.e. 1 minute?

Thanks,
Dirk

P.S.
Version 8.0.3.1510 / VMWareFusion 2.0.7 / Windows XP

The delay is caused by the Oracle Client. PL/SQL Developer is stuck in a Oracle Client Interface call that does not return. If anything is configurable, this would be a network or Oracle Client/Server configuration.

The only related configuration option is the "Check Connection" option. When enabled, PL/SQL Developer will sooner be aware that a connection is broken.
