Hmm, I am experiencing race conditions: sometimes the custom image gets displayed for a moment, but then gets overwritten again by the kobo sleep screen image.

I'm wondering, wouldn't it be better to strace the hell out of nickel to see the what it does when going to sleep, and then do an LD_PRELOAD hook into whatever it is actually doing? Like actually invoking the power state transition (be that done through open()ing and write()ing to a device file, or a syscall)?
