Actually, I was wrong. This is indeed a regression from 4.9. The
"require password after" configuration applies when the screenlocker
activates itself, as I said; but if anything else locks the screen
while it is locked then it should start requiring a password, no
matter what.  So "Lock screen on resume" should mean that the screen
is locked and requires a password, whether it required a password
before suspend or not.

There's a fix at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/109608/

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier.
