Just thought I'd share with the group, as I hadn't seen it reported anywhere else... I changed to Pattern lockscreen option just for yucks. Much to my surprise, the next time I went to unlock the phone while playing some tunes through Play Music, there was a "widget" on the lock screen. Shows the current song, with Prev, Play/Pause, and Next buttons. It's only there if you're playing music when the phone locks (it's not a perpetual widget), but hey I'll take it. While I had gotten accustomed to pulling down the Notif bar from the lockscreen and using those Play Music controls, I'm quite pleased with this discovery. Has anyone else found this to work with any other apps to get a lockscreen quasi-widget?

(PS - Not sure if it works with the other non-swipe lockscreen options, haven't tinkered any further)
