I hope not. IMHO, screen indicators (battery level / charging, signal
strength) and other gadgets (like time shown in homescreen) shouldn't
activate the screen.

Anyway, it does not seem to be any event that is visible on the display at
least (it's not battery charging, signal strength or the time (shown in
homescreen)).

Very nice.
But Im actually quite happy to have my FreeRunner auto-dim after 20 seconds,
even when connected via usb.
However, it would be nice if only defined events (like an alarm) and manual
action (like touching the screen) would "un-dim" the screen. Just my 0.02
euros. :-)
