Great!

Hopefully this in the open source part of it... if you do not find it or
need help with this otherwise, please let us know!

Err... I seem to be a little lost here...
As I understand it we have an IM context which is part of the
application process context.
But the "application" (or applet) that is the virtual keyboard itself is
implemented as a library and called from within the application?

I am sorry for my ignorance but I did not have a look at the IM
implementation yet...

Ah, good.
Along with configuring hotkeys we also have to think about who shall
handle them.
This needs to be an application that is always running, has to have
eventually higher priviledges and should have access to the user session.
For me this sounds like a "module" for the application launcher?

BTW: LCD suspend now works on the NEO1973 and it survived suspend with
running GSM for a night with just loosing "one bar" on the battery level ;)
