Interesting. I tried switching between Breeze and Breeze Light, which on my dev
session setup doesn't make any difference for the screen locker in that way.
Great find though! And this also supports the theory of this "second" issue to
be an issue with drawing the screen locker window as opposed to the KWin
fade-out effect being inappropriately applied.

Not sure how best to deal with bug reports because ideally we'd have two
separate ones, but if the symptoms are indeed very similar then it'll be
difficult to tell them apart. Hopefully a large number of users will see their
setup fixed and the remaining ones can target the screen locker / Plasma theme
issue in a targeted way.
