Re: Making the panel re-appear in the lock screen after removing it from the shield

[Jason DeRose <list derose io>]

I apologize if you are already past this, but all extensions are
disabled when the screen shield is displayed. 

In screenShield.js, _resetLockScreen() will call _lockScreenShown()
which will call activateFade(). Later, _resetLockScreen() will call
Main.sessionMode.pushMode('lock-screen') which will update the mode to
lock-screen which doesn't have allowExtensions set to true and thus
disableAllExtension() gets called.

Is this your issue? It's probably possible to override enough stuff to
get it working, but I think the general idea has been that extensions
don't run on the lock screen.
