while definitely an improvement (nice :) this still means that two touches are 
always necessary. i still really like the idea of going straight to lock and 
integrating auto-sleep with the lock screen. this gives "best of all worlds" 
as described in a previous email.

which made me consider the screen locking which has been put into its own 
daemon. it only now (*sigh*) occurred to me that putting the lock mechanism in 
ksmserver would be a great place for it since ksmserver doesn't have anything 
else to do and would allow us to more easily coordinate lock with session 
features like lock/shutdown. i'll discuss this with Martin later and see what 
he thinks as well ...

some notes on the visuals, aside from finding some flat monochrome icons:

* the frame is 1 pixel off on the top and bottom. that's odd :) in the QML i 
noticed that there are two FrameSvgItems, one that is the top level item and 
one that is a child of it (id: background). both are loading the same SVG.

* every where else in Plasma Active the icon is above the text. that's easy to 
fix by swapping the order of text and icon in the Column entries

* the text should follow normal capitalization, e.g. Sleep instead of sleep. 
i'd also suggest just "Lock" instead of "lock screen".

* centering the "sleeping in 3 seconds" text would probably look nicer; 
putting it on top might also be nicer
