Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-03-07 17:22:18 UTC 
When I minimize all windows they move out to the sides of the screen and a a centimeter or so of window remains visible. The windows are still shown when I lock the screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Minimize all windows
2. Lock screen
3.

Actual Results:  
The windows in the corner of the screen are still shown even though the screen is locked

Expected Results:  
The windows are hidden behind the lock screen

This would be bug #347466 and suggest the isScreenLocked() test fails.

=> How exactly is the screen locked?
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-03-07 19:05:16 UTC 
Either through the desktop toolbox, or using global shortcut
Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2016-03-07 22:51:18 UTC 
Not reproducible here (also debugged out, isScreenLocked() is true, the elevation list thus blanked and in return the windows don't show upon the locker)

Maybe due to failing dbus communication (Qt 5.6?) or a broken locker (in ksmserver)

Can you debug check the screenlocker state on your side or do you want a debug patch?

    [Effects] QDBusAbstractInterface needs valid object path
    
    I noticed that the GetActive call fails with an "Object path cannot be empty" error
    when stealing that code for PowerDevil.
