Sounds good to me. We can be clever so the user doesn't have to be.

This is where the two projects blur. I would say display sleep settings
should not be in a screensaver dialogue, but then I'm biased :-)

disables things it hasn't got. 

Should the sleep type be in options? Not something the average user
needs to know I guess - default to "Quick sleep"
