Yeah, I gave up and just used LD_PRELOAD when I had this problem. If you want to try the quick-and-dirty way for a proof of concept, this might be handy: http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/cscott/journal2/tree/ Do all of firefox/xulrunner/chrome use GTK widgets for text entry? I'm nervous that some programs might not pop up the keyboard appropriately. You could add a gesture to force the keyboard up even for badly behaved applications. I think the iPad/iPhone gesture for that is dragging your finger from the bottom of the screen to the top. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
