** Description changed:

  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.  MPT is currently working on
- wireframe for this.
+ setting should *always* be off by default.
