Logging out from the locked screen is impossible. Logging out means
interaction with the session due to the session manager. The session
manager asks all applications to quit and applications are allowed to
ask for example saving changes. The session manager stopps the
logout in this case and asks the window manager to focus this window
and the session manager will only continue the logout once the
application resolved the situation. At any time in this process the
user is still able to abort the logout!
Switching to the application which needs interaction is impossible,
though as the screen is still locked. The result is a seemingly
frozen system as the logout cannot continue and there is no indication
what is going on.
Of course the lock screen cannot unlock the session for the logout as
that would circumvent the security. If the lock screen would unlock
one would just have to click the button and abort the logout really
fast to have the system unlocked. So this is clearly not an option.
The result is: we cannot implement this functionality in a working
and secure manner, so it's better to remove it.

BUG: 339453
FIXED-IN: 5.1.1
If klauncher can't launch any of the services within the phase2
autoStart2Done will be never called, hence leaving ksmservice in an
invalid status.
Since at this moment is almost impossible for klauncher to make sure
that autoStart2Done is always called we have to add a work around the
same way we have done with all the other phases.
This workaround is specially useful since it is in phase2 where we
launch third party stuff.
