I do not want widgets to be updating their content while the device is locked & its obvious I am not looking at them
This ought to be having some impact on battery life right?
This is probably exhibited by all types of widgets so it may be a requirement (or a feature?) of hildon so i will not claim this to be a bug, but can you please consider this as a feature request and provide an option to toggle content updating when device is locked.

If this is not possible can somebody please give me the code for checking if device is locked.I will put this at the start of my script and have it exit accordingly.
Thanks for feedback.
Choice to have QBW update even if phone is locked was deliberate as QBW is also a monitoring tool and a background program frontend which can maintain/hold some persistency with collected info over time and which may require update even if not in sight.
However you are right about the fact that an option should be present here ... and choice to disable update if out of sight left to the user.
I'll give it a thought.
