Maybe I misunderstood something here, but why would it make sense to show the
content of a private Activity before it's unlocked when switching to it???
The same privacy/security concerns that apply to unlocking the screen when a
private Activity is activated apply to switching to a private Activity just the
same, don't they? If  If I have a private Activity and give my tablet to
someone else, I switch to a non-private Acitivity first. If that person
switches to a private Activity, he must not see anything that's going on there.
