A recent(ish) update of KDE Plasma 5 has a new "feature" which blurs the lock screen on mouse or keyboard wake. Presumably this is so that the on-screen text can be seen against a potentially incompatible background (black text on black BG). Is there a way to disable this "feature" though? I'd like to actually see my beautiful lock screen wallpaper, and not have it blurred. The vast majority of time, I don't need to read the text, I am just typing my password to unlock the screen.
Current version installed is kscreenlocker 5.13.3.
I'm running Gentoo, but I believe that supports local patching without too much fuss. I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. – Pistos – 2018-08-09T18:29:04.127
I was actually able to edit this file live, and manually start the lock screen to check the effects of the changes. Thank you, this will do for a workaround. I'll see about more "properly" doing a patch on the system package so that my changes are applied more gracefully when the package is updated by the package manager. – Pistos – 2018-08-09T18:35:55.707

Here's the Portage patch I made that worked for me. Thanks again, Matt. https://gist.github.com/Pistos/bdfa5c19a530e8038b44cf9c6a714308
