        This dummy autoshow config file is added for supporting devices which 
do not have hardware keyboard, thus an input method could not be activated by 
hotkey e.g. ctrl+space. Instead, IM should be auto activated upon text widget 
focus. It's optional, and on moblin, we package it into a separate package. 
Then it can be installed on the device where the autoshow feature is needed. 

For Gtk and QT app, we have other patches for scim and scim-bridge to support 
autoshow on focus. And those patches involve a setting interface for user to 
choose whether they want this feature or not.

So, actually, we don't enable auto show by default on Moblin ;) It's up to you 
to make the decision according to the platform you would deploy Moblin on.


Best Regards,
Raymond Liu
