A simple wayland unlocker
Two goals: learn how to use wayland protocols on the low level, and have a tool to recover a locked session when the original locker is killed (when a shell is available and the compositor's policy allows that).
I might use this as a demonstration project, in that case more thorough docs might emerge…
Security
This might under certain circumstances undermine the security model of the compositor, because whoever is able to run this might unlock the session. Use and install with that knowledge.
However, if someone has rw access to the compositor's socket, they can do the
same nevertheless, so in a regular system this is probably a non-issue.
That all said, use at your own risk, I am not responsible for your fails :-)
