The unlock UI is actually a separate application altogether.  The stuff 
that lives in KWin is really just an idle-checker (using the 
XScreenSaver extension if possible, or code from xautolock if not) and a 
D-Bus interface.

Well, it wasn't a library in KRunner (which is why it wouldn't work 
properly as a library - the symbols in the SaverEngine class are not 
exported).
