[Kde-accessibility] Support for onscreen keyboard

[Kyle Pablo]

Hello Frederick,

     I just tried getting Maliit to work on Fedora and the keyboard did 
not appear.  I followed these 
steps--->https://wiki.maliit.org/Documentation/Running.  Used this 
repo--->https://wiki.maliit.org/Documentation/Installing#Fedora.
     So based on this go around it does not work properly.  I do think 
there needs to be a better solution.

I can type faster on my Android phone (word completion) compared to using xvkbd or kvkbd.  I use to use kvkbd but the pressing of the buttons became too sensitive.
