I agree with most of what you (thp) said, apart from this last item. In this instance, when defining a timeout, I think Never fits more logically at the bottom of the list, as it is "further away" than 60 minutes.

I attach a screenshot from the Gnome Power Management preferences, where you'll see that they also put Never at the end on a similar thing that is defining a timeout.

Incidentally, from that Gnome screenshot, it would be nice to see text like that appear in easyplayer too, i.e. "20 minutes" instead of "20 min" and "1 hour" instead of "60 min".
