The screen should definitely turn on and perhaps flash or change 
brightness continuously (i.e. pulse).

With regards to accidental clicks, I have a couple of ideas:

* Two taps at opposite corners or opposite edges to unlock.

* A quick left/right/left triple tap or left->right->left drag action in 
the middle of the screen.

* Apple's iPhone has a "slide to unlock". A continuous left to right 
action over a certain region unlocks the phone.

Since the display isn't pressure sensitive I think any of these options 
would probably work. Can we have all of them? :)
