[Kde-accessibility] Viki now in kdenonbeta

[Shaheed]

Hi all,

I've just added an early prototype of a visual keyboard called "viki" to 
kdenonbeta. Its basic aim is to display keycaps according to the (k)xkb 
settings in effect so that a physical keyboard with a normal "gb" layout can 
be conveniently used by people who want other layouts...with luck, it'll end 
up being useful for the accessibility community to build on too. 

It does not do too much at present other than:

1. draws your current keyboard layout, and allows mouse clicks to simulate 
keyboard entry.

2. lights the various keyboard indicators in response to you pressing CapsLock 
etc.

3. When started, it uses the kxkb-set layout to draw the keys of the language/
layout: this allows you to enter data in a keyboard with keycaps for your 
language! The next step is to make the setting of the layout respond 
dynamically to kxkb.

This all seems to work for layouts such as "gb" and "fr", but there are 
problems with my (one of) my real targets, "ben"...not yet sure if this is 
generic KDE 3.2 Alpha bugs, or something basic like the home-brew font I am 
using.

Obviously, it is early days, but all feedback is appreciated.

Thanks, Shaheed
