I just found the bug in QtMoko for this, and will submit the patch to Radek.

Basically it was not detecting the not charging but plugged in correctly and someone had added a 
hack to turn off charging that was causing it to restore the screen every time it sampled the 
battery state. It also wrote the power settings to the config file every time too, that is every few 
seconds.

BTW it only happened when it was plugged in but fully charged.
