Until then, the only way to recover your session right now, as posted in
archlinux issue tracking the upstream one, is to go to a console (CTRL+F2)
and "kill -SIGSEGV enlightenment" , at which point the "white screen of
death" will appear and after resuming from it, the screenlock will be gone.

Which makes me think, is this a desired behaviour too? After killing
enlightenment and resuming the session, shouldn't it return automatically
to the screenlock if it was in that state? Looks like a security issue for
me. Imagine I have a terminal emulator with "su root" inside enlightenment,
and I also have a terminal opened in CTRL+F2 with my unprivileged user. If
I leave my PC unattened, somebody could access my user through CTRL+F2, and
then basically escalate privileges to root by killing -SIGSEGV
enlightenment and accessing the terminal which was under lockscreen before
but which is now unlocked.
