I could poll the same file the Healthcheck app uses (/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/cam_shutter/state), but this is not really satisfactory for my purposes.
I would also like to temporarily disable the Camera app from launching while my app is running...
...is there any DBus hackery I can use?
Seems like he's almost done what you need in a way

You can disable the camera app with:
dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui
And turn it back on with:
dsmetool -t /usr/bin/camera-ui
This doesn't actually disable it. It disables starting the camera app on lens open event. You can call the camera app manually through DBUS if you want.
If you are working with Qt you can override your form close event, to turn camera app back on, when you are done with your app. Don't know about GTK, but it should be pretty similar.

The lens cover event is available through HAL, see the sources of shortcutd.
