1. If you lock an app that uses a path (say, Dorian)

2. If you lock an app that uses a DBus call, but not one that is overriden (say, Conversations)
a) Does the lock appear?
b) Upon clicking Menu->Refresh Daemon does the UI crash?
c) If you launch the app after b) does the phone lock?

3. If you lock an app that uses an override (say, Conversations)
a) Does the lock appear?
b) Upon clicking menu->Refresh Daemon does the UI crash?
c) If you launch the app after b) does the phone lock?
d) Upon pressing a letter on the desktop does the phone lock (conversations only)

4, 5, 6: Repeat for unlocking

In the case of 5 and 6, b) won't be necessary and the UI should hang but if it doesn't then I am going to be EXTREMELY happy
WOW!! SUCCESS!! CONGRATS!!

Locking applications work through the GUI now.
Even pressing a key on the keyboard locks the phone if the contacts application is checked in the GUI.

Note that we have to refresh daemon at times for changes to take effect.

And now about unlocking, everything works normally except Contacts, which shows a weird bug i.e, upon unlocking contacts, the "Keyboard press search" gets unlocked like it should but the phone still locks if we try launching contacts directly from the menu launcher.

And I dont know whether you missed it out, but Contacts can still be accessed through the Phone application when we launch Phone and click "Select Contacts". This is possible even when contacts is locked. Have you looked into this?

The GUI doesnt crash when refreshing the daemon, though there are random delays at times when unlocking an app.

This was a great leap! And I guess the main change you should make in your next update is to make sure the permissions for settings.db are correct.

Guess this app can slowly step into beta stage now. Thanks and congrats!!
