cssu camera-ui has options "show/hide on lenscover open/close", I am too lazy to dig on gitorious, but those should be gconf settings. Unfortunately afaik stock camera-ui does not support these.

Yes! I saw this last year; camera-lens-launcher is using this setting to keep the camera app from automatically launching (and yeah, it only works with CSSU, not stock).

I was kinda wondering about that, though; is it really a good idea for one app to be digging around inside and modifying another app's gconf settings?

As long as it does it on behalf of its users.. why not?

Either I did not get it right, or I am confused?
On stock Pr1.3 with stock camera cl-launcher does work fine and hinders camera to automatically start.

If one is not using R&D mode and watchdogs disabled, repeated killing of camera-ui with the "dsmetool -k" method results in device reboot (funf act - I've used it few times, when got locked out of screen/keyboard focus while using buggy full-screen program, and ssh'ing to kill the offender wasn't available). So, better method would be nice to have.

Yes, that's what the cl-launcher does. I'm just not really comfortable with the idea of mucking around in the guts of someone else's app in order to make it play nice with others. There really should be a better way!

But yeah, I'm probably going to copy that method in my app.

On CSSU, cl-launcher changes the flag in the camera app's gconf parameters to stop it from launching when the lens cover is opened. On stock PR1.3 and below, it simply kills the camera app outright. So, it works in either case, but is a bit more vicious on non-CSSU devices.
