I can't imagine the battery usage would change significantly (or
at all) with unlocked keys if the keys aren't pressed. And
compared with the current situation where I have to turn on the
device from softpoweroff (including turning on the screen) to do
something and then turn it back off, it certainly should save
battery.

Currently not as there's no notion of time. I was planning on
adding timers so that one could fully implement the same
touchscreen/key lock behavior found in the default system,
i.e. powerkey + select unlocks the device only if the select
occurs within some amount of time of the powerkey.

I don't have a N770 so I don't how to detect this. Is it a dbus
message? All dbus messages that the program receives can be
handled by the config file. It would just be a matter of making
sure it listens to the right place.
