Hey, if we want to have something displayed all the time on locked screen without sucking battery too much, script chains using mplayer to draw imagemagick isn't good way of progress 
For any sensible thing that *may* be viewed without backlight, black big letters on white background (or the opposite) seems to be "top high" of what You're aiming for.

I had success with dbus-scripts. This script shows the time if connected to the locked device event
Now the loop runs only once in 60 seconds and only when device is idle
this is the dbus-scripts control file
now I have to find a way to kill it on unlock. killall simpleIdle.sh in a script hooked to the unlock event doesn't work. Of course if you don't lock your phone for 60 seconds it will die anyway.
edit: insterted a line that clears the screen to black because browser in fullsceen is probably writing directly to the framebuffer, and the time appears over the last screen viewed before lock
edit: we also got to force redraw of the screen upon unlock because some apps (tweego, probably all full screen qt -qml?- apps) do not redraw continuously.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness
text2screen -c -B 0x000000
while true
do
LOCK=$(dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.mce" --print-reply "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.get_tklock_mode|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}')
if [ $LOCK != "locked" ]
then break; fi
d=`date '+%H:%M'`
text2screen -t "$d" -s 19 -T 0xFFFFFF -B 0x000000 -x 35 -y 0
sleep 60
done
this is the dbus-scripts control file
Code:
/home/user/dbusIdle.sh * * com.nokia.mce.signal tklock_mode_ind locked
edit: insterted a line that clears the screen to black because browser in fullsceen is probably writing directly to the framebuffer, and the time appears over the last screen viewed before lock

I've update the QBW version of the script so it now sets up QBW to handle all the triggering. It's been working stable on my device all day, which is really nice. 
Thanks for this great idea, and the major pointers on what to touch,etc. That's to everyone involved!
I may still yet make an actual app that ties in a little nicer (looks at other dbus signals, like power, slider, etc) and doesn't rely on scripting and widgets to get it's job done. (And, just because I want to.)

backlight is probably a no-go, my battery emptied from about 80% during the night with backlight on 2. But the time is still visible without backlight so we are still good. (Maybe there is a way to have even less backlight than 2? On the 770 somebody managed to go below the lowest setting)
Please somebody more knowledgeable tell me how to kill the script when device unlocked. Can I pass a parameter to a running script? Why the heck killall myscipt.sh doesn't work when called from dbus scripts but works when called from xterm?

I'm still having an issue that after about 20 hours or so QBW stops sending messages or calling the script all together. :P So looks like that's not working. I'll be looking at coding up an nice background app for this soon.

For completely disabling the backlight
(turn off)
# echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/bl_power
(turn on)
# echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/bl_power
Is it possible to make a qbw to detect double click and unlock?

If you'd like a sample of how do to that, check out the scripts Alfred & I worked on. We used imagemagik for changing the lock screen to include weather and such.
Currently I've having an issue with the QBW script, in that after a while QBW stops calling the script on close events. I updated the script to change it's timeout via dbus, which seems to be semi-broken and is probably the cause of it breaking after 10 or so hours of use.
If I get that stable, I'll post the widget and script again. I may eventually bite the bullet and see about creating an honest app out of it in C, since it seems like a good/small project to get into the devel stuff with, which I've been wanting to do for a while (and may actually have some time for in the near future.)
