Is there anyway to remove the text "Swipe to unlock" form the lock screen?

According to http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63649 the unlock screen is implemented in a closed-source component, unfortunately.

Check /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES for something like osso-systemui-tklock.mo. (I can't remember the file name exactly, so grep -i for whatever the string "Swipe to unlock" is in your language. Edit: Check pelago's post below)
Once found, either install "gettext" on the N900 (available in the SDK repository; be careful!) or copy the mo file to a Linux computer (or a Windows one, if you can find Windows binaries of gettext).
After that, you can invoke "msgunfmt mofile.mo -o mofile.po" and find the string in the resulting po file. Once found, replace it with a space character and, then, once saved, run "msgfmt pofile.po -o mofile.mo" and copy the final result back to the LC_MESSAGES folder

What an excellent post. It looks like the correct file in that folder is osso-system-lock.mo, and the string ID is secu_swipe_to_unlock, by the way.
Of course, any changes to this file would get lost if a future update overwrote it. I'm not sure what would be the best way to make this change persistent...

Good catch!
Maybe a good way to print a custom text on the lock device screen
as well.
For example replace the text for the secu_application_title
with
"please call xxxx if you found this phone".

You have to change the file /usr/share/locale/us_US/LC_MESSAGES/osso-system-lock.mo, this is only possible, if you convert the file .mo to .po via the msgunfmt command.
You could edit the now. Format the file back to .mo with the msgfmt command.
Note: You need gettext installed to have the msg* commands on you N900 available.
