Bug Description

With the launcher set to "always shown" in Unity 8, and with privacy settings configured to not show the launcher on the lock screen, it still shows on the Unity 8 lock screen after the timeout has passed.

It seems like really the launcher should never be shown on the lock screen on any device, and the solution would be to remove this setting and always hide the launcher on the lock screen/greeter, as this can expose unique information about the user.
