Yes, the [1] was meant to point out that this is a nascent application that's 
not yet ready to go into kdenonbeta, but I'll put a the source/binary on an FTP 
site a bit later.

But I don't understand the comment about a non-focusable window - forgive my 
ignorance, but how would one click on the keys in Viki if it did not have 
focus? If there was a way, that would definitely be a better UI design...maybe 
the answer will be clearer when I get you the source/binary. I'll drop you a 
private note when this is up.

Thanks, Shaheed

P.S. Thanks for clarifying about the bugfixng only being relevant in HEAD.
