KScreenlocker tries to clear the clipboard on load. However, klipper also (by default) automatically keeps the last relevant item in the clipboard. Whilst both parts work correctly, Plasma as a whole does not. This became a problem when we added the reveal password button as it is a data leak. Instead of clearing the clipboard this patch replaces it with a real entry, but with a dummy mime value that is of no value to anyone, especially a textfield. By using x-kde-passwordManageHint we can prevent klipper from storing this entry so it's completely transparent with a working clipboard after the session is complete. My preferred solution of the two BUG: 388049
