This is especially true of users of KDE 2.x who have grow to expect
the Lock/Logout buttons on kicker. 
Please at least when starting a KDE3 session for the first time and
there are already files from KDE2, then default so that this applet is
available on kicker. This will then seem more like a smoother upgrade
than expecting the user to *know* that they have to explicitly add this
app in KDE3.
