Review request for kde-workspace, Plasma and Aaron J. Seigo.
Changes
-------
Added a space and a newline.
Bugs: 327947 and 329076
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327947

Repository: kde-workspace
Description
-------
If the screen locker is set to not require a password to unlock, it will not
show the password input field even when the powermanagement settings suspend
the system and are set to require a password after resume (when it was already
running at that point).
This locks people out of their system.
This patch adds a signal handler for SIGUSR1 that switches the running greeter
to immediateLock mode. The locker sends that signal to make sure the greeter
shows the password input field when necessary.

Testing
-------
Disable "Require password after" in the screen locker settings (the default),
set it to start after 1 min. (for easier testing).
Enable "Suspend session after" and set it to 2 minutes. (set the action to
"Suspend", "Hibernate", or "Lock Screen", doesn't matter)
Make sure "Lock screen on resume" is enabled in the powermanagements "Advanced
Options" (it is by default).
After 1 minute the screen locker kicks in, and doesn't require a password.
After 2 minutes the session gets suspended, hibernated or locked, and requires
a password to resume.
Without this patch no password dialog is shown, the user cannot resume the
session by entering the password.
With this patch this works: there is a password input field, the session is
unlocked when the user enters the password.
Thanks,
Wolfgang Bauer
