REVISION SUMMARY When opening a non-writable config file, a `kdialog` process is spawned and the application waits for it to quit. However, since in case of the lock screen, the input and everything is already blocked, the user cannot dismiss the warning generated by the greeter, effectively locking the user out. BUG: 403255 TEST PLAN Created a non-writable `~/.config/kscreenlocker_greetrc` and locked the screen: Greeter comes up as normal kscreenlocker itself may need something similar? I grepped kde source code for that environment variable and it only seems to be used for warning suppression, it doesn't disable writing or persisting configuration.
