+1 for this feature!
I suggest to have configurable settings "Show suspend button on lock screen"
and "Show shut down / restart buttons on lock screen".
They could be separate due to different severity.
Default could be off, so the current behavior would not change by default.
There are plenty of cases, where this would be convenient:
- PC wakes up randomly.
- Accidentally work up my PC.
- Woke up PC without knowing PW.
- Left PC running to finish some processing and suspend it later.
- Left PC in office and returning to the office quickly just to pick up the
laptop.
I do not agree to the security concerns:
1. Default behavior would not change --> I click the box, so I am aware of the
risk.
2. I have my password mainly to prevent unauthorized access, not to prevent
unauthorized shutdown.
3. Anyone with physical access to the machine does not need the shut down
button. He can press the power button / pull the plug / remove the battery /
steal it / throw it out of the window / you name it...
4. In the rare case where I really want to prevent shutdown via the button
(remote KVM workstation? or whatever), I just do not click the box in the
settings.
5. Shutting down / suspending other users' sessions would be prevented by the
normal KDE means, just as if I click the power button while I and someone else
are logged in.
6. Windows / Gnome / Mac has it without facing major security issues.
