So we now have a number of apps available which require the ability to 
hold the screen in a fully illuminated, unlocked state. Some of them are 
killer feature apps which are crucial to acceptance of the OS, at least 
one of these has this feature implemented within the code but cannot do 
so as Ubuntu does not yet support it.

I am able to use these apps at present by disabling the auto screen 
lock. But because the screen still dims after a few moments they are 
effectively unusable during the day. How do we go about adding weight to 
the request for this feature? I really feel everyone needs to do so as 
one of the major functions I require of a phone is missing, this is 
selling us short as we all know this OS has the ability to really impress.
