ok, so let's say PA2 :p
if possible i would keep the patch as is for pa1 (yeah it still even have 
unlock with spacebar ;)
anyways atm the screen locker is not marketed as a security feature at all, is 
purely for avoiding to touch stuff by mistake when the tablet is in a purse

for now let's boot in unlocked mode

another temporary way would be to put in autostart a command that locks trough 
dbus, but seems quite too much ugly ;)

uhm, seems to insist to start actually the blank screensaver even if the 
exposed dbus interface is the kwin one
