the app can lock and unlock the device by pressing it on desktop ?
Oh god , I have to learn basics of linux lol

Cheers.
first install leafpad run this.. be sure to have rootsh installed..
Then open xterm and paste all of this:
Code:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install leafpad
leafpad /usr/share/applications/hildon/lockdevice.desktop
press enter and paste he code they suggest you.. Press CTRL + S wait 5 sec (to load the menu) and u can now add it to the desktop like a shortcut using desktop settings panel.
