I think this should go into the plasma-desktop repository, under kcms/ (there's already more ksmserver kcm code there).

The spinboxes, I don't find overly useful. Perhaps a combobox with some default values to pick from? (Users that absolutely need per-second granularity for grace and idle times may edit the config file, IMO.)

The name could be improved, see comment below. The Comment, I'm not quite sure about, I don't really like the "configure" bit in there, and it seems kind of heavy (it's used as title at the top). Maybe something like "Timeouts for Screen Locking"? It's clear from the context that it's about "configuration". I'm mulling over the same right now in the new Formats (locale) KCM, btw.

Otherwise, it looks nice and clean to me.

    "Screen Locking", maybe? I think it makes sense to express this in terms of what it does to the user, not which kind of component we're talking about.
