Has anyone developed anything to prevent the slider switch from waking and unlocking the screen? It's ridiculous to have the option to lock and turn off the screen only to have the switch basically get around it. It's also a pain in the *** when the phone is in a case that can nudge the switch while the phone is in it.

I think you should enable the lock code, then at least it won't fully unlock without enering a code as well.
system > settings > enable autolock
current code should be 12345
DONT LOOSE IT OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REFLASH
I checked mce.ini and it's only got the "power button" and "home button". I don't think it's the home button, but maybe it is? I wouldn't screw with that though!

Run "stop mce", and change "/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/kb_lock/state" in /sbin/mce to "/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switcx/kb_lock/state". Remember to "start mce" afterwards.
Yes, this is Maemo, where thanks to Nokia keeping MCE et al. closed, you are forced to resort to such stupid hacks.

Can someone explain how to do it, please?

You need to have root access, and you need a text editor. Like nano, vi(m), emacs or something similar...

people have shaved off the little tab on the switch and made a notch instead to be able to still use it
