OK, after looking at this some more, I'm not going to implement comment #26 yet. There was one case left off that complicated matters (locked and A is on but B is off -- in this case, we'd enable indicators even though they asked us not to? We could disable A when B is off, but they are in separate screens and not obviously connected).
So my current thinking is to land a branch that enables all the underpinnings of the shell changing profiles on the fly, but just not use it quite yet until the settings panel design is done. This support would also be useful for a split greeter. So it's all good changes. But I'm going to hold off on actually using the dynamic profile switching logic. So to be clear, I'm not going to make the A option visible yet, nor change how B disables/enables the indicators when locked. But I will land some code that makes such changes much easier in future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

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. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#Locking> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-datetime/+bug/1358340/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
