This is worse that I originally though since you can actually *launch*
any app on the launcher without unlocking the phone. You can't see it,
but it is running (unlocking confirms this).
** Summary changed:
- able to left swipe and see launcher icons without unlocking phone
+ able to left swipe
You can also re-order the launcher icons.

Title:
able to left swipe and launch apps without unlocking phone
To manage notifications about this
To start an app:
1) Swipe left to show launcher.
2) Keeping finger down in (1) long press an app icon in the launcher.
3) Remove both fingers from screen.
4) Swipe left to show launcher again.
5) Launcher should remain on screen allowing you to touch an app icon to launch
it. See attached.
**
Note sure if this is also a bug (I think it is), but in testing this, I
have inadvertantly managed to delete the system settings icon by moving
it. It seems the operation failed as shown in the screenshot.

That failed operation has seemingly corrupted a list somewhere since now
touching my gmail icon actually launches system settings (spoofing
potential here). Attached screenshot shows this.
** Attachment added: gmail-is-now-system-settings.png
I think much of this is by design. The security team doesn't consider
launching apps behind the lockscreen a security issue. These apps are
subjected to application lifecycle and will not continue running.
However, the other behaviors may be bugs-- I'll ask someone to comment.
** Information type
Added an Ubuntu UX task. Some guidance on how you feel about reordering
/ un-pinning icons when screen is locked would be nice.
I know we've separately talked about launching apps being acceptable.
So I'll adjust bug title to match current open question.
** Also affects: ubuntu-ux
