i have never used the battery widget since this is a desktop, and
always used the ones in the application launcher.
or, in many cases, i use the "sudo pm-hibernate" command, since i'm in
konsole more than hald the tme. and i can confirm the screen doesn't
get locked in both! someone, once, psted a dbus command on the list,
if using that dbus command, it locks
