Marco, I thought you are only talking about problems with "press a key
to wake up a phone" scenario?

Can Gecko implements a temporary wakelock until the key event returns
from the Gaia system app context? We don't really need 30 sec for that
if you could determine when the function call returns exactly.

If Gaia ended up waking up the phone, it will do so *within* the function call.
