In the case of QtLockScreen, it can show more (email, sms notification, media controls etc.)
Situation:
Phone is locked. I just wanna know the time without unlocking it or disturbing it.

Actual and usual way I used to do:
I just slide open the keyboard out, but neither press any key nor touch the screen, just watch the time and the slide close it back.
The phone again goes back to locked state with the display going off again.
Note: security code lock is not enabled.
But recently this stopped working. I slide open the keyboard, see the time, slide close it back, but the n900 doesn't get locked. I have to lock it from the power key or the side key.
Note 2: Proximity sensor also stopped working a few days back, but is that any relevant to this??
I am taking it to Nokia care sometime soon, but what should I report this problem as??
The best thing you can do is type in dmesg RIGHT AFTER opening then closing the keyboard. The last messages you should see SHOULD correspond to the keyboard opening/closing. Personally I would do a COMPLETE reflash to eliminate any possibility of it being a software issue. If you give your n900 to the service centre...you WILL NOT get it back.

Sounds like it could be software - it's probably worth flashing it first to see if it fixes the problem.
That's probaly all Nokia will do anyway...

But the weird thing i notice is the issue mentioned in the OP is not persistent. Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it works properly. Anyway, I have got the warranty yet and I hope nokia will have the hardware parts to repair mine
Thanks guys.
