Think it would be very handy to have a desktop widget button to lock the screen directly using the touch screen.

Use Desktop Command Execution Widget combined with this script.

You can push the power button twice to lock the screen.

Thank you very much, this was really helpful, but unfortunately i messed up with the widget settings and now the screen locks all the time..i've uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again to reconfigure the widget but it seems that uninstalling doesn't remove settings i've made..so the screen keeps locking before i go on reconfiguring..tried using GPE file manager to access the rootfs and find the setting file to delete it but with no success...would be greatfull for any help...

After uninstalling command widget did you remove the .desktopcommandexecutionwidget file from /home/user? It may be a hidden file.

Is there an option to lock the N900 whilst using sygic for example, just as a way of avoiding other people 'fiddling'?

I have occasion to hand over my N900 to workmates and let them use the sat nav, but obviously don't want them to browse...

*Guess that would be an 'application lock function'*
