Personally, I'm happy for the lock screen to show date+time but I would
prefer everything else to be hidden (or ateast hideable with a system-
setting) until the phone is unlocked.

The majority of users may not mind if the notification bar is displayed
when the screen is locked (Android does this), but I think it would be
prudent to add an option to hide this as some users/customers will
prefer to minimise any privacy leakage (particularly if we grow the
scope of the notification bar in the future).

Regarding the launcher:

1) What is the use-case for wanting to launch an app when the phone is locked?
2) What is the use-case for wanting to re-order the icons when the phone is locked?

I don't believe users would be happy if either of the above actions
could occur on a desktop system, so why allow it on Touch?

If nothing else, allowing such features increases the probability of
pocket-dialing-type issues ("I left the phone in state X but now I come
to unlock the phone it's mysteriously in state Y. What happened?")

** Summary changed:
