Just played a little bit with lock/unlock:
- an already locked file can't be locked again even if the username
matches (i.e. if the user himself has the lock already - relocking is
not possible). That lock would have to be stolen too.
- If multiple files should be locked, the whole operation stops on the
first failed lock, so no list of files which aren't locked. Either all
or nothing.

Only files can be locked. Folders can't be locked. So the context menu
will only be available for files, not folders.
