and unlike the knee-jerk “you’re ruining my workflow” reactions, these timeouts 
actually have a purpose. we will seriously annoy many of our office users if 
this goes away.

i would say that at the very least, we need to retain the feature even if it 
is not configurable .. but we need to ensure 100% that this grace period only 
happens when the locking happens automatically, not when explicitly started 
(by the user or programatically via e.g. dbus)
