Well I'm not sure I have fully understood the extender concept, but I
think you should not implement the keyboard as Extender.
When a plasmoid is on a small panel, the icon you see is the plasmoid
itself, not a "plasmoid generator". Just look at the behavior of
plasmoids like Calculator or DeviceNotifier when you drop them to a
panel from desktop and back, or when you resize the panel until
calculator can show more than a icon...
I hope others can confirm my interpretation. Also I wonder why
BatteryApplet and NetworkMaganer use only extenders, while
DeviceNotifier doesn't. I have some problems to understand the concept
of "extenders without plasmoid". Also the behavior of the interface
seems inconsistent.
