in actual version in our devel-repo there are more options on each tab
.. and i have a lot more in mind ;)

i just had no good ideas for new icons for the others yet ..

in one of the next versions our behaviour on power-button would get  
configureable

i also would like to be able to un-/lock screen with power-button ..  
but actually i don't know how to
"disable touch" so it doesn't emmit events .. anyone some ideas ?
