XO Flashlight

I'd like to collaborate with other XO fans at Dev House on a simple XO activity.  My idea is to make a "flashlight" activity for the XO.

Features:

• Use the backlight of the laptop to look around a dark room.

• Flash on X...  O... X... O...  for use as a "bike light" for the kiddos walking past dark with the XO over the shoulder.

• Nightlight mode, a little spotlight that pans around the screen as a screensaver and gives a little light to the room at night.

Advanced features:

• turn off backlight with "end" keypad press in tablet mode

• detect daylight (camera?  estimated sunrise time?) and turn off nightlight

It should be a pretty simple activity to code up in Python/Sugar/pyGTK.
