@kinipyon, if you are going for this kind of app, I would suggest using c with glib (using D-Bus does not wake cpu).
You may want to take a look at proximityd that provides d-bus service for proximity sensor state.

great invention but bad idea our N900 barely last 24hours with average usage, include this script will destroy it completely.
I'm not keen to try though bet someone else might give it a crack. Thank for bringing new fresh idea. thank you

Having accelerometer on (even if not reading the values) will consume nice amount of battery, so I'd suggest not doing it, it'll destroy the battery even if you do it "correctly".

Yes, shaking is not a kind of control that you would like to use constantly. But for actions such as turning off the alarm, rejecting phone call, opening sms etc. it may be suitable. So keep digging, @kinipyon

The alarm thing is a really cool idea. Like say it triggers the accelometer online only when the alarm starts ringing, so you pick it up and give it a shake and it will either snooze or go straight off. Could maybe be controlled by length of shake.

True, but I'd rather shake it violently to make it stfu
I wrote a simple python script to wake up the N900 screen when shaking the phone.
Video here
Source code is available here
Please note that if you are running this script background, it takes 60% of CPU power all the time and drains your battery very quickly.
