Bug Description

This problem is only reproducible when the lock screen requires password to unlock.

If you receive an incoming call, the notification bubble is correctly displayed. You can decline the call, but if you accept it, the call will become active and no dialer-app is displayed. Apparently it is correctly launched in the user session, but it's hidden behind the password screen, therefore users can't hangup, set mute or speaker mode while the phone is locked.

The desired behavior is that users should be able to interact with the call, but they would need to unlock the phone only to access private information (like the contact list, or make another call).
