As already asked for in this thread.
When using widgets on screensaver, the password dialog renders plasmoids like "Leave Message" or multimedia controls useless, as anyone who isn't familiar with the system will cringe as soon as the dialog pops up. It would be better if it only appears if the menu point "Unlock" from the Cashew got selected, or if "Widgets on Screensaver" is disabled.

This is about Plasma widgets on screensaver right? It would be nice if you could mention it in the idea to make it clearer.

Is that better? I'm not sure how else I could add it, since "plasma-overlay" and "renders plasmoids like" already imply this. Any further suggestions?

Just thought about adding it to the first sentence, e.g. "When using widgets on screensaver, the password dialog renders plasmoids like "Leave Message" or multimedia controls useless [...]".
I wasn't very sure what your idea was until I read the other topic.
