I am sure there is a way for this, since it already have a lockscreen, that has the functions I seek. I just can not find how it has been done.
You're reaching the wrong conclusion, unfortunately. It has a lock screen, but the lock screen is likely implemented by the same thing that is monitoring the bezel gestures (the sys.navigator app) so just because it has the ability doesn't mean there's any API available to apps in general.
RIM has to provide an API to support this.
It would be a very nice feature for a number of use cases, but does have some security risks... Imagine if an app surreptitiously put up a screen that simulated the system lock screen, and a user were to unwittingly enter their password into it. Boom.... (It could be done now, probably, but a user would at least be able to do a bottom-swipe and realize that it was a fake lock screen... but not if you could lock out bezel gestures.)
Kids' games would also benefit from the ability to temporarily lock out bezel gestures, since the young ones are often a bit wild with their swiping.
I could see it being available but as a restricted permission, so the user would first have to grant the ability to the app to do this. Maybe we'll see it in future. Want to create a feature request ticket for it in Jira?
