I don't think it is a good idea putting complex typing on a software aiming 
3-8 years old people. There are other software for that, as Tuxtype for young 
people, which is specialized.
Furthermore, I may play on a locale but have the keyboard for another one, so 
I won't be able to type all chars!
As I'm in mandrake-i18n ML, I heard that even japanese people don't type on 
japanese keyboards : they use ascii keyboard with a soft that changes the 
input method.

What I mean is that it seems that we are going in a too complex way for the 
kids.
