An area of the phone, i.e. a particular corner should be designated for
such events and other normal use buttons such as the current application
should try to avoid that area so inadvertent triggering would be minimised.
This sounds like a good idea to me. A set of interface guidelines,
agreed upon and adheared to by the community could produce a really
nice, consistent experience. "No buttons in cornerX" might be the
right way to go.
