I don't know achievements from within KDE but there are plenty of Gtk + handhelds devices and software that could interest you is: gpe-dm with onscreen keyboard matchbox windowmanager from the creator of Xephyr matchbox includes and has hooks for various input mechanisms including xstroke, rosetta and onscreen keyboard maemo uses matchbox and has added various input hints to the Gtk widgets which allows to automatically toggle input methods. One can use that as inspiration for KDE as this is Free Software. z. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
