I have long terminal processes that run that sometimes take more than 99
minutes.  I work on another machine and occasionally glance back over.  I have
to disable the lock (or edit .config/kscreenlockerrc manually) or remember to
move the mouse every 99 minutes.  (Then I have to remember to manually lock my
station when I leave, or decide if I'm leaving for a long time each time I
leave)

The main complaint non-linux users have about linux is the command line.  And I
always say "try KDE, you can do everything from the GUI".  But if the new
philosophy is "Simple by default. Powerful when needed." this should continue
to apply to the GUI configuration.  That what makes KDE different - you can
configure anything the way you want with the built-in GUI.

Not being able to set that number to *anything* is poor design.
