[Shr-User] SHR-U: Very short timout times, again.

while i remember, the placement / alignment of the labels is also very 
confusing.


it is currently:

  lock

  2 sec
  idle

  30 sec

etc.

this means they lead the eye to think they are paired up wrong.

it would be easier if the labels were more like:

  lock
  2 sec

  idle
  30 sec

ideally with a line separating each row

thx
