Approval to move kdenonbeta/viki to kdereview

[Olaf Schmidt]

Hi Shaheed!

I think viki is an important additional to the other assistive 
technologies in kdeaccessibility, so really support the move to kdereview 
as a starting point for a possible integration with kdeaccessibility.

I like the fact that viki shows the currently selected keyboard layout. It 
also seems to work well with the accessibility related keyboard settings 
in kcontrol. My impression is that viki serves a very different purpose 
from gok.

viki is included in SUSE Linux 9.2.

Yes, if would be nice if you could select the keyboard layout in viki, 
similar to the system tray switch.

We can discuss this on the kde-accessibility list. All changes to 
kdeaccessibility need to be post KDE 3.4, of course.

Another idea would be to integrate the word completion code that Gunnar 
has written for KMouth.
