Hi Hendrik,

I tried several keyboards, but most are very buggy. matchbox-keyboard is
in the Jessie repository and is the one that works almost, but it's not
very usable. It's not configurable and always starts in a tiny window
and has to be resized before it can be used.

Florence is nice, but is in some way in conflict with openbox or tint2.
When Florence is running, the panel is dead.

Hi found this one:

https://github.com/Xlab/matchbox-keyboard

You need to install *libfakekey-dev*

After building the sources, it didn't work for me at the first time. But
doing a symlink in "/usr/share" pointing to
"/usr/local/share/matchbox-keyboard" it worked.

Here you are a screenshot:

Appearently, the snag is its limitation in respect of configuration
(only for US keyboards).

Cheers,

Aitor.
