I like the idea.

Would it be better UI if we moved "New Session" into the "Change Session" in the current lock screen so that they're both identical?

/IF/ we did do that then we can re-use the QML file completely; and probably even launch kscreenlocker_greet from ksmserver just with an extra arg to go directly to the switch session page?
