To be honest, I like it best if the designers (that is, the lookandfeel
package creators) get to design the whole thing, because the look is part
of the lookandfeel.

I understand that some people really like that idea though, I think the
best would be to have some kind of checkbox in the wallpaper chosing dialog
or lockscreen kcm that says use wallpaper for the lockscreen but I'm still
afraid that this will complicate the code, given that it will require
moving wallpaper-rendering code over to the l&f theme.
