This would be very cool to do.
This would enable many extra usages.

There is no way to disable this.
But there are more ways in using the camera.
A little python script:
import gst
bin = gst.element_factory_make("camerabin")
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
With tv out, this even works while the touchscreen is locked.

But i still can't buy in the thought that you want to keep your N900 @ home while you go on holidays !!
