> If the screen locker is set to not require a password to unlock, it will not show the password input field even when the powermanagement settings suspend the system and are set to require a password after resume (when it was already running at that point).
> This locks people out of their system.

> This patch adds a signal handler for SIGUSR1 that switches the running greeter to immediateLock mode. The locker sends that signal to make sure the greeter shows the password input field when necessary.

> Enable "Suspend session after" and set it to 2 minutes. (set the action to "Suspend", "Hibernate", or "Lock Screen", doesn't matter)
> Make sure "Lock screen on resume" is enabled in the powermanagements "Advanced Options" (it is by default).

> After 1 minute the screen locker kicks in, and doesn't require a password.
> After 2 minutes the session gets suspended, hibernated or locked, and requires a password to resume.

> Without this patch no password dialog is shown, the user cannot resume the session by entering the password.

> With this patch this works: there is a password input field, the session is unlocked when the user enters the password.
