This is a question mainly aimed at Farhad, and possibly Martin.

In the branch farhad_hf/lockscreen, why is the screensaver/locker 
support in kwin compiled as a library?

The way it is done is actually broken (the stuff gets compiled in twice, 
which causes major issues with global statics), but I can fix it in one 
of two ways: get it to link properly, or just include the code directly 
in kwin.

I'm not sure I see the point of compiling it as a library, as it 
pollutes the library directory (it should really have a different name 
than "libsaverengine", I think) and it slows the kwin startup time.  No 
other applications are using it (so there's no "sharing" advantage) and 
loading it isn't optional.
