How to change dialer and phone defaults?

I have had an N900 for about a month and I __love__ it.  90% of my life
is spent either at the office or at home and I have good wifi at both
locations.  The SIP client is connecting to our Asterisk/Elastix PBX,
and I'm able to send and receive calls great and transparently just as
if it were a cellular connection.  I also have a prepaid SIM in case I
get stuck by the side of the road, but it is rarely used.

The software does a fine job of handling all the details of dropping
& gaining wifi connections, etc.  This works so well that a couple
of days ago, I cancelled my old cellphone service and will save about
$50/month.

Now that I've been using it for a little while, I'd like to tweak some
of the default settings for the phone.  I hope (& assume) that
these are configurable, but I've googled without success, and also
SSH'ed in and looked in /etc & /home/user/ without success. 
Specifically, the following would bump up the experience to the next
level:

  The dialer defaults to "Call Type: Cellular".  I would like to
change the default to "Call Type: sip".
  As soon as a call is answered, the screen goes blank (presumably
to save power).  This makes hitting "Speaker" or entering PIN #s
difficult.  I'd like to either leave the screen on, or ideally have it
turn off after ten seconds if no other key is pressed.  There is some
mention on websites of a facial proximity sensor which would also solve
the problem, but I see no indication that it exists on my actual unit.
  The default audio setting is phone-to-the-ear.  I would like to
change this to "Speaker".

The SIP account settings in /home/user/.rtcom-accounts/accounts.cfg,
and I suspect that any changes would probably go there, but it doesn't
appear to have entries for what I'd like to do.  Does anyone know how
to accomplish any of this fine-tuning?
