| In Poky we start the keyboard in the X session, and install the GTK+
| input method (part of the matchbox-keyboard source) so that the keyboard
| is toggled as required.  The keyboard is toggled via IPC between the
| input method and the keyboard, so you don't need to constantly kill and
| restart it.

This looks great; I have a test package, based off current SVN,
working here which I'll proceed to upload.  Any take on whether I
should enable the panel applet as well?

Only problem is the keyboard ends up consuming quite a lot of screen
real estate, see http://err.no/tmp/DSC_5932.2.JPG for a picture.  (The
resolution on that device is 1024x600.)

I think we could manage to shave off a complete row of keys by
reducing the size of Home/PgUp/End/PgDn (or get rid of them
completely) and making a numpad there.

Getting rid of the arrow keys also seems sensible - you have a touch
screen, which is much, much faster to use than using arrows.
