Hide lockscreen mode often fails to keep screen awake through wakeup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put screen to sleep while running hide lockscreen mode
2. Sleeping over the top of an app such as google talk or the browser has 
more consistently duplicated the issue
3. Wake screen with power key

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The bug we had a few versions back where the system Keyguard screen was 
regaining control during the wakeup and causing the display to go back to 
sleep (though the unlock still finishes, meaning you can wake it back up 
with any key at that point) is back thanks to the froyo change that broke 
our translucent dismiss window that we had relied on to clear the keyguard 
without any jagged on-screen transitions.

I can fix this but I'll need to spend some time testing the mode and 
further tweaking it. Time which I don't have right now, so please 
reinstall 1.4b from the downloads page if you are still on eclair and 
impacted by this bug. I'm considering rolling back the change and 
uploading a separate froyo-only package, but that's a lot of work too.

The android team has expressed that they simply do not care about this bug 
and will not provide options to easily return control to the lockscreen or 
cleanly close the lockscreen when the user requests to exit for use with 
the dismiss keyguard / show while locked attributes.

no solution is possible. hide lockscreen mode has been abandoned since the 
platform refuses to support robust lock replacement or interaction with apps 
outside their own like the phone and alarm clock/dock.
