But the point is that those X screensavers did NOT lock the screen in a 
secure way. Plasma 5 provides a secure screen locker now. It just doesn't do 
those fancy animations (but only a blank screen with an unlocking dialog), 
mainly because nobody developed such animations in a way compatible with the 
new screen locking framework yet. As far as I know, the interfaces (based on 
QML) are already there, it just needs somebody to write the QML code.
