At least for Harmattan it would be hooked to context framework, which
listens whether hardware keyboard is slided out or in, then it
disables virtual keyboard when keyboard is out. Differnt UI could be
presented here.

Doc is here:
http://qt.gitorious.org/maemo-6-ui-framework/duiimframework/blobs/master/doc/src/pluginsystem.dox#line29

Maemo's context kit is here:
