There is a lockscreen now, but still no screensaver. Changing the bug title and description to only mention the screensaver.

Hmm, well, just after posting the last comment, I see it's about the system automatically locking after x amount of time. Probably should just leave it as is.

This should be easy to implement... Mir's demo servers have had Alt+P to turn off the screen working for years.

Although common sense tells me we should use something other than Alt+P because that will conflict with apps.
