Bug ID: 459048
Summary: Screen Locker takes long time to appear when
background is on Network storage
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
Screen locker takes a long time to appear when the wallpaper is on network
storage and the network is saturated. I have my wallpapers folder on a network
drive, and one of these files is set as my screen locker background. If I'm
downloading something and try to lock the screen, input is frozen however the
desktop is still visible for multiple seconds, sometimes up to 30 while it
fetches my background.
Perhaps screen locker should appear and then attempt to load the wallpaper,
leaving the background black until it does or it should cache the current
background in .local or something.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Apply a Wallpaper from a network folder
2. Saturate the network by downloading a large file
3. Attempt to lock the screen
OBSERVED RESULT
Screen locker takes multiple seconds to appear, sometimes up to 30
EXPECTED RESULT
Screen locker appears without issue immediately
