[Bug 1358340] Re: [Indicators] Complete greeter profiles

 

mpt mentioned to me in email that he doesn't like the idea of the
limited indicators at all.  (sorry, trying to move ad-hoc email
discussions here, but sent wrong bug link to them at first)

Can we get some unified design guidance in this bug?

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.
