Is it possible to add an option to force the lock screen to appear even if the phone is unlocked using the Lock switch or if the keyboard is slid open?

also, the lockscreen appears for too short period of time.... very quick

I get some problems while reciving a call. It doesn't show the phone app and I have to tap on the screen to see the answer/reject button.

These should be the landscape lockscreen in its barest form. I need some suggestions wrt the tray area (top-right.)

Same problem here, seems it gets in the way of a call being answerd, causing screen freezes even after the lockscreen closes, as such I have had to remove it.

Is there anyway it can be stopped from loading when an incoming call comes in, as otherwise it seems unusable for me personnally?

I did some testing and the phone aplet shows up after a few rings.

Here's how this lockscreen actually works.

Replacing the stock lockscreen is near impossible, unless someone wants to rewrite the systemui plugin that handles tk (touchscreen/keyboard) lock, this involves using the same DBus signals and reading the configuration from mce.ini.
Why? Because someone felt it was a good idea to use the same plugin that handles locking and blanking to show the lockscreen UI.

This lockscreen pretty much works in the same way the stock lockscreen works, it displays over all windows (HILDON_STACKING_LAYER), but this one shows over the stock lockscreen.

Qt windows are slower than Gtk ones at redrawing, as a workaround, I show the lockscreen window right when you lock the screen, that way it has all the time it needs to draw the window while the screen's locked, if the device is unlocked, I simply hide the window.

The lockscreen actually listens to call status, if the device is not in call state "none", which is ringing, or call active or whatever, the lockscreen will never show.
I'm guessing the problem with calls is that the N900 kinda chokes when there's an incoming call. I'll have to look for workarounds.

had a call today, no noticable bad effects..

for me it's inconsistent.. sometimes it happens and sometimes not

Sounds typical of my N900 w/o the enhanced lockscreen as it sometimes "freezes" on an incoming call for no obvious reason however with the new lockscreen the problem seems worse. Hoepfully MAG can therefore come up with a solution for the problem.
