SUMMARY

Trying to personalize both my SDDM and lockscreen for the first time, it was not intuitive for me to have the option to change the background of the lockscreen apart from SDDM settings. Now I use Plasma for a while and I found unintuitive, so I'd assume a completely new user would feel the same way.

If not desirable to unite lockscreen settings with SDDM settings in the same module (login & lock screen), I suggest presenting a link that directly takes the user to the other module.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open SDDM KCM module
2. navigate to lockscreen KCM module

OBSERVED RESULT
The user (especially a new user) has to figure out that lockscreen settings and SDDM settings are in different modules and browse through SystemSettings to find each.

EXPECTED RESULT
Either a) When accessing the lockscreen module, find a link to navigate directly to SDDM module. When accessing SDDM module, find a link to navigate directly to lockscreen module or b) unite lockscreen settings with SDDM module
