Unfortunately, and as far as I can tell, lightdm doesn't have any indication
whether it's running in “login” or “unlocking” mode. It's the exact same thing
for it, so it definitely behaves as intended. If it's not what's the user
want, I would advise against using light-locker/lightdm and use another
lockscreen.
