I emailed Olga these questions, but figured it would be good to clear
this up here too:

I see from the discussion in bug 237155 (particularly comment 20), that
it looks like the three settings should be controlled like so:

(A) There is a currently hidden property in System Settings called "Messages on welcome screen" that should be shown.
(B) There is also a property called "When locked, allow notifications and quick settings"

- Full indicators [1] will be used when the phone is unlocked (i.e. swipe mode) OR A and B are on.
- Limited indicators [2] will be used when the phone is locked and A is off but B is on.
- No indicator access will be used when the phone is locked and A and B are off.

And the default for A should be off and the default for B should be on?

[1] This is the "phone" indicator profile
[2] This is the "phone_greeter" indicator profile

How correct is all that?  If correct, having setting A be off by default
might confuse users.  I feel like it should be under an "if locked"
clause too.

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.
