A ctor overload which automatically calls lock() would be very nice (that is, 
another ctor which takes an int parameter), so that one can create locks in 
one line and use curly braces to define the scope of the lock (much like 
KConfigGroupSaver).

The documentation for the dtor is a little suboptimal, IMHO it should say 
"Destroys the object, releasing the lock if any." or something like that 
instead of "calls unlock()" (the latter is an implementation detail).
