Version: KDE: 4.1.87 (KDE 4.1.87 (KDE 4.2 >= 20090101)) "release 3.1", Plasma Workspace: 0.3 (using Devel)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Compiled sources
When the screen is locked & black, notifications still show through. The screen was locked using the Lock/Logout plasmoid. Two examples: kmail and kopete. With kmail it is not so problematic, as it just shows the number (and directories) of new mails received. But with kopete, the received message text is displayed; what is worse, it does not seem to ever go away.. so if you leave your computer locked and go somewhere, other people can very easily read your incoming kopete messages.
I am filing this bug as a plasma bug because maybe the best idea would be to disable notifications showing altogether while the screen is locked, as a lot of notifications may contain private text? Or just specifying that there are one or more notifications waiting, but actually displaying them when the user unlocks the screen?
