Comment 2 for bug 1371081

Ah, I see the problem here.

This setting is supposed to control access to the indicator menus from the lock screen, and it does. However, people can't reasonably be expected to know what an "indicator menu" is. Many things on the screen act as "indicators" of various sorts, and the visual design of indicator menus makes them look rather unlike menus.

Meanwhile, the notifications design placed notifications in a "Notification Centre" indicator menu. So when we came to give this setting an understandable name -- trying to summarize everything that appeared inside indicator menus -- we settled on "Notifications and quick settings".

Unfortunately, that makes it seem as if notification bubbles themselves are also controlled by this setting, when they are not.

Possible solutions to this problem:
1. Abolish the setting altogether, never allowing access to indicator menus from the lock screen.
2. Find a name that clarifies the current behavior: obviously including the Notification Center but obviously not including notification bubbles.
3. Change the name to "quick settings", and change its behavior so that it no longer controls access to the Notification Center.
4. Change the effect of the setting so that it also controls notification bubbles on the lock screen.

Any other ideas?
