I was using agtl for quite a while on the n900. Awesome that you ported it to harmattan!

Could you add an option / button to keep the display backlight on and prevent the device from going to standby.
On the last meters to a geocache you might want to see the compass / map view all the time cause this helps to finally find it.
With the N900 i was using the 'simple brightness applet' for that reason but the n9 is lacking widget support.
(I guess it should be possible using this api: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qmsystem2/classMeeGo_1_1QmDisplayState.html)

What do you think?
