Hi, Ross
      As far as I known, Nokia has done something in GTK and change it name as 
Maemo_GTK. In that version of GTK, a new input method is supported. Base on 
that GTK, keyboard can be auto-launched easily.
      Now we need to use the GTK 2.11 in the main stream. Can I have the 
feature of auto-launch without doing anything either on gtk or on libhildon? 
      Or you mean that I can wait for a moment. Then the new version of GTK on 
gnome.org will have the code of Maemo_GTK. In that time, I can do nothing but 
have this feature. 
      
      I am not clear how I can get this feature. Please tell something more 
detail! Thank you very much!

Best wishes,
Han Jian

I should say that this approach means that the keyboard automatically
appears/disappears for *every* widget *automatically*, thanks to using
the support GTK+ already has for input methods.  It is also the same
model as the Maemo approach, which at present is closed source (although
it is being opened at the moment).
