Widget Locker ! 4.2 lockscreen

Im having an issue with my Widget Locker now that i upgraded to 4.2.

Since i use Widget Locker, it overrides the default "new" lockscreen (the one with the massive widgets). But when i wake my device, there is a delay before i can unlock Widget Locker. And every time i try to unlock it before this delay is done, it resets the delay. When i woke my device, i even got a little message on the bottom of my screen saying something like "Widget Locker delayed by ..." i didnt get to read it all. This is very irritating.

Is there a way to completely disable the new lock screen? And user accounts as well? And whats with the dim-over-time when i put my device to sleep? Can i disable it as well?

The only thing this 4.2 brought me was a usable swipe keyboard. Im feeling very disappointed right now.
 
It did this for me as well initially, but didn't give me the 'delayed by' message that you referred to. I had the slider theme in widget locker set to jelly bean, which means it does a fancy little animation when you turn on the screen. I couldn't slide to unlock the screen until the animation was finished. If I tried, the sequence would restart.

When I switched the slider theme to ICS (still has an animation sequence but not as fancy) the delay disappeared and I could unlock immediately. I don't have multiple user accounts. On the "Security" tab in settings I have "Lock Screen" set to "None" and on the "Users" tab in settings there is only my account.
