Locks to me suggest "secure", whereas OTR provides "private", which is a
somewhat stronger notion.  (With the pfs, deniability, etc.)  I'd prefer
it to not be so easily confused with things like gaim-encryption.

Also, even in the "lock" world, I think we really don't want to give the
misimpression that people should be happy at 2.  The moods I'd like
people to have (somewhat flippantly):

1. Unhappy
2. Uneasy
3. Comfortable

Maybe use smilies?  ;-)
