In fact, on my box if I put my machine to sleep from kickoff - KDE is not
locked, if I use battery widget - it is.

This is a known bug, an security issues, it's supposed to be fixed in
kde4.3.

Gee, did I know that the battery widget was that powerful? Just found out I
can click on it!

As Marcus pointed out, PowerDevil has an option. The issue might be PowerDevil
not running locally. There seems to be another power management service
running. So, clicking on all these buttons doesn't work. No i need to find out
how to get rid of that "other service".

Can someone explain to me why it does lock the screen when I use Kickoff but
not when I use Lancelot?
Isn't this something KDE/Powerdevil should take care of?
Are there other programs where I should be aware of like-wise behaviour?

I'm running the latest KDE from Unstable (4.3.0-2)

This issue is still present in KDE 4.3.1-1, so I want to report it to KDE.
On the bug report wizard page there's the following:

Security bugs
If you are about to report a security problem in a KDE product, then please DO
NOT use the bugs system, because all bug reports are public. Follow the
instructions on the KDE Security Information webpage instead.

This seems like a security bug to me, but Kickoff is not affected, just
Lancelot.
Should I report it as a normal bug or ('privately') as a security bug?
This info is already public since I send it to this mailing-list, hence my
confusion.

I just went ahead and reported it and it's filed under:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206055

Should I also report this to BTS (since it's security related)?
