Bug 504803

SUMMARY

When the screen locking is configured to "never require password", there should be less information in the overlay. Its controls are also unreachable.

Here's a description of the currently displayed elements and their rationale for removal:
- Time: This should be kept if set as shown in the settings, but is only visible on lock, afterwards and keyboard/mouse input will make the lock screen disappear
- Name + avatar: This could be kept, but is only visible on lock, afterwards and keyboard/mouse input will make the lock screen disappear
- Multimedia controls: This should be kept if set as shown in the settings, but is only visible on lock, afterwards and keyboard/mouse input will make the lock screen disappear
- Password input: Useless, since there is no password to enter
- Logout controls: Useless, since the lock screen disappears on keyboard/mouse input
- keyboard controls: Useless, since the lock screen disappears on keyboard/mouse input
- Battery indicator: Useless, since the lock screen disappears on keyboard/mouse input

So unless the name/avatar are kept, or the time or multimedia controls are set to be shown, the whole overlay on the login screen could be skipped altogether when lock password is never required.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In "System Settings" > "Security & Privacy" > "Screen Locking", set "Delay before password required" to "Never require password"
2. Trigger the lock screen (by using the keyboard shortcut or waiting the timeout)

OBSERVED RESULT

The overlay is displayed with useless information and unreachable controls.

EXPECTED RESULT

The overlay is not displayed when locking the screen.
