Hi,

As discussed in the user mailing list, it would be good to add a feature to TDE to completely inhibit the ''screen lock''.

What is needed:
-Disable the screen lock when going out of the screensaver
-Remove the ''lock session'' button form both classic Kicker and Kickoff menu.

In some cases, as, let's say a computer in a public library, you don't want the user to be able to lock the session, to make sure that the next user won't have to ask for a password. In some cases, you want to have a system with autologin and not let the user know the password, for security (or simply not messing with the system) reasons.

Another use case, as the one on June 2015 user mailing list, is to avoid the ''lock session'' button to be touched by error on a less accurate touch screen, because kdm doesn't support virtual keyboard.

Thank you!
-Alexandre
