It turns out that the stuck key issue that I've seen with the OSK is related to multitouch. If I apply this patch to the xf86-input-evdev driver and rebuild with --disable-multitouch the issue is gone. I know this is really not a bugfix and we have an upcoming project where we need multitouch support so I'll have to continue looking into the original issue anyway, but this is an acceptable workaround for the present deadline. Besides that I think it's nice to have these knobs to explicitly tell the package to enable support for some feature or not, independent of what the build environment has installed. It helps with reproducibility of a given software configuration. Thierry
