Unlock with Volume or Camera Keys?

Not crazy about the placement of the power button. Is there a way to remap the volume or camera buttons to wake the phone? And yes, I've seen the "No lock" thread, but I still want the phone to be somewhat difficult to accidentally unlock. What would be perfect would be a double click of one of the other buttons to waken and unlock the phone. Is this possible? Maybe it's a root thing?

Thanks!

The app WidgetLocker WidgetLocker Lockscreen - Android app on AppBrain provides the option to wake up the phone using the volume keys as well as other features.
