don't know, i would like to either something very simple and pretty or if is 
about security, actual security...

one thing i would like to experiment with is having some simple plasmoids on 
the lock screen that say things like "3 new messages" and ig the locker is 
dropped on that plasmoid, the mail application is directly opened for 
instance.

how marrying it with security, hm, don't know ;)
