{REQUEST} icon for desktop that secures N900

hi all,
is there any chance someone could make an app that simply 'secures device' so that instead of pessing power key then selecting 'secure device' i can just touch an icon on the desktop to 'secure device'?

the reason for wanting this is because most of the time i cant be bothered to do the above to fully lock my phone and instead i just lock screen and keys using the slider but then come back to my phone to find someone messing with it!

as an afterthought even better would be an app that changes the behaviour of double power key press or slide of slider from 'lock screen and keys' to 'secure device' as i always use the slider on the right to 'lock screen and keys'

anyone think they could/would do this?

You could use desktop command execution widget.
The wiki page has some dbus call examples

Before you ask for a step-by-step tutorial...

1. Install Desktop Command Execution Widget. (it's in Maemo Extras.)
2. Add the widget to your desktop
3. Configure the widget. (Go to Edit Desktop mode, then click the gear or wrench on the widget.)
4. Click "Add Cmd"
5. Name (title) it whatever you want.
6. Put

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.system_ui /com/nokia/system_ui/request com.nokia.system_ui.request.devlock_open string:"com.nokia.mce" string:"/com/nokia/mce/request" string:"com.nokia.mce.request" string:"devlock_callback" uint32:'3' | echo ""

in the "Command" box.
7. Click save.
8. Click Commands, scroll through, find your new command, and adjust the size to your liking.
9. Turn off "Update when clicked" and "Update when switched to the desktop."
10. Set update interval to "0" (never).
11. Save.
