Screensaver GUI settings

It would be nice if "Lock-delay: x " was added below "Regard the computer as idle after: "

Actual behaviour

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Currently it's only possible to configure the lock-delay from the terminal

gsettings set org.date.screensave lock-delay 0

Screensaver

Expected behaviour

When the screensaver starts, it would be useful to place a countdown timer in the center:

• 0 seconds: "The lock screen will be activated in: 00:00:60"
• 1 seconds later: "The lock screen will be activated in: 00:00:59"
• 2 seconds later: "The lock screen will be activated in: 00:00:58"

Actual behaviour

When the screensaver starts, there's lock-delay indication. People often assume that the screensaver will activate the lock screen automatically.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Start the screensaver
