I've currently got a Toshiba tablet PC with built in keyboard and a wacom  
tablet built in. In opesuse 10.2, the xvkbd virtual keyboard is started  
automaticaly as you log into KDE I do see why this is but I really do not  
use it and it is only an annoyance to me and probably others with a  
convertibla tablet PC.

What I would really would have liked is a virtual keyboard that you could  
add to kicker or a panel. This would allow it to hide automatically like a  
normal panel can be configured, it would not constantly take up space on  
the taskbar and it would be more similar to how a PDA place a virtual  
keyboard.

I would really like to have the virtual keyboard (and text recognition) as  
a more integrated part of the desktop environment. The current situation  
of having an odd program here and there does not give you a feeling of  
consistency.

I was planning to undertake this task myself, but I am not a sufficient  
QT/c++/kde developer as of yet.


I hope someone would find this to be an interesting project because the  
linux tablet support is in need of some minor work here and there.
