Review request for Plasma and KDE Usability.
Description
-------
After complaining about this KCM last week, I wanted to give it a try to improve it a little. I think that the biggest stopper here is wanting to keep the screensaver here, because we've ended up with a 3-head monster:
* simple locker
* plasma-based locker
* xscreensavers
Since it seems it's something we may want for the moment. IMHO, we should end up with the Plasma-based option alone. I just tried to re-organize it in a way I like a little better.
What I did
- I aligned the locking labels to the left, like the Form Layout suggests. It creates a small puzzle, I'm unsure if that's a problem.
- I added toolTips and whatsThis in the locking type option buttons, so that we can at least figure out what will happen when we lock.
