The correct answer is using Simple Brightness applet, as said in this thread already.
edit: Applications themselves can keep the display on by asking MCE to keep the light on with 45 second intervals, which is what standard mediaplayer does when video is playing.

In any case, just install Simple Brighness Applet.
It will give you options for setting backlight brightness through the status-area, as well as a quick shortcut for keeping the display lit in any app.
Edit: beaten to the punch!

Simple Brighness Applet, is what should been built in. However I would love if it include 2 more clicks, very dim (the level right before the screen goes off) and backlight off. The n900 looks great in the sun, I would love to save power by turn off the light all together. Would that be possible? Should probably ask the dev or start a thread on it.
