So we're basically looking at it as three levels:

1) Everything on lock screen. You like that, dont' care.
2) Reduced data, stuff is there, but it shouldn't be a really egregious leak or control things.
3) No Indicators

Basically the "MessagesWelcomeScreen" toggles between the first two.
Then the no indicators setting will turn on 3 or not. So for those who
are very worried about security they can turn off indicators entirely.
For those who'd like them to be a bit more restricted but still
available we can reduce the data set. And for those who live on a desert
island by themselves they have the full monty option as well.

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.
