I would still like a app that can be touched once on the desktop rather than pressing the power button twice , but that is just me , maybe being a little picky

Isn't the slider the most convenient and fastest way to lock the screen??

I think everone knows that this button exists and knows what it does...
My reason to realize this shortcut is a result of the way I handle the N900. If I uses the device with one hand (I'm lefthanded) the slider is not reachable until i turn it.

@ SR90
No, you already have this Device Lock (Lock with Code) and Keylock button in the power menu (originally it has no key icon)
This .desktop file "creates" an app in the "more" folder which you can put on the desktop as a shortcut to lock your N900

Oh god , I have to learn basics of linux lol
Cheers.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers.
