Nope, I'm pretty sure there is no such limitation on the N900. You will always get the same thing on the screen as when you locked the device.

Yeah, and the edge swipe & swipe notification might make some sense on a tablet (you might not be able to reach an edge sometimes) but makes much less sense on a small smartphone screen. The cost ? easy to use cover action gestures being replaced by tiny tiny buttons that are hard to click but easy to miss-click... Feels a bit like shoehorning tablet UI to a mobile phone.
