How do you lock the touch screen with an app still runing?

I want to be able to lock the touch screen but not close the app (iTeleport). I still want the display to be active. I want to be able to lock it to prevent accidental input and unlock it at will. The "lock entire device" feature from hitting the power button doesn't work for this as it shuts off the display.

dual 2.7 G5 (8G RAM); 2.8GHz MBP (6G RAM, 48G SSD 500G HD); iPad, Mac OS X (10.6.5), Water cooled G5's still rule!

It needs to be simple. It has to happen right from the home screen either with a triple tap of the button or switch or something simple, lock or unlock.
