It's been a long time since I used xset and xautolock but I have some memory of using xset to trigger the screen saver at like 2 min idle and set the screen locker to lock at 10 min. This change seems to assume that one always would lock immediately?

Yeah, to be honest I find the man pages hard to understand. Hence why I'm opening this more as a discussion rather than a firm change.

As I don't use a screen-saver, only a locker, it could be that this reflects my spartan usage.
