OK, after looking at this some more, I'm not going to implement comment
#26 yet.  There was one case left off that complicated matters (locked
and A is on but B is off -- in this case, we'd enable indicators even
though they asked us not to?  We could disable A when B is off, but they
are in separate screens and not obviously connected).

So my current thinking is to land a branch that enables all the
underpinnings of the shell changing profiles on the fly, but just not
use it quite yet until the settings panel design is done.  This support
would also be useful for a split greeter.  So it's all good changes.
But I'm going to hold off on actually using the dynamic profile
switching logic.

So to be clear, I'm not going to make the A option visible yet, nor
change how B disables/enables the indicators when locked.  But I will
land some code that makes such changes much easier in future.

Bug description:
  A recent change in the interest of security removed access to the
  indicators when the phone is locked and the greeter is showing.

  This was an accentual change based on a misunderstanding

  There had been a plan to support media playback control via the sound
  indicator. Without this the user must unlock the phone in order to
  simply pause the music or change songs, etc.

  ----------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Revert the change that caused this issue

  - Add a switch to System Settings to enable security conscious user to
  switch off Launcher and Greeter access while the phone is locked.
  This setting should *always* be off by default.
