this is becoming quite the laundry list of topics :)

power button panel -> it still feels just so completely wrong up there. a
hardware button is really what should be used here. there should no need for
more chrome on the screen.

lock vs sleep -> the tablet should come out of sleep in 1-2 secons maximum;
which makes always sleeping just fine. that resolves one more set of choices
the user needs to make and also eliminates the "i thought it was sleeping, but
it was just locked, and my battery drained" possibility

battery hiding -> yes, the "it's doing something, so it's shown" concept is
exactly what i had in mind. if it isn't charging or discharging, it's not
necessary information. on the desktop, there's a lot of competing visuals to
grapple with otherwise. 

battery consistency -> and i'd like to see us keep this consistent across
plasma targets. keeping behaviour the same means less special coding in widgets
for specific use cases and allows people to become familiar with the plasma
ways across their devices.

battery UI -> the popup UI from the battery that lets one get to
hibernate/sleep is superfluous. what concerns me more is the screen brightness
adjustment, though that probably isn't often an issue when plugged in.

honestly, i find the whole concept of using the battery to sleep to be highly
broken.

as for the mockups on the exit screens, they look reasonable and could be
implemented in ksmserver. what is there right now isn't amazing, even on the
desktop, and a referesh of that would be nice to see. something more modern and
that isn't the size of a postage stamp ;)
