I hope nokia has fixes for the inconsistancies in the new OS.
There is actually a "mediumkeypress" setting in mce.ini. I can't quite make up what it's good for, but apparently, if you press the power button long enough to invoke the default mediumkeypress, but not quite long enough to get a "longkeypress", the buttons and screen won't lock. On my unit I can tell because the screen briefly flashes on and off, so I know I've been impatient again.

I tried fiddling with the length of "mediumkeypress", but it seems to always want to be shorter than "longkeypress". I haven't had the guts to comment it completely out yet, for fear that it might cause some disaster (like the N800 suddenly booting up into WinMo 6, for instance).

Oddly enough, I didn't get this behaviour with the previous firmware and it took me quite a while to figure out that longkeypress still works for softpoweroff.
