[SailfishDevel] No consistency across screens

[Mikael Hermansson]

What you seems ask for is "don't turn off screen when /idle/ but make sure it show 
battrerystate/phone etc.."? eg in *homeview and lockscreen* that I could agree 
but not in applications its just would lock wrong in sailfishos IMHO.
