I think this might be the very last of my questions.

Can I have D-Bus or whatever call a script while running Roxterm when I touch the screen?

Here's what I'm trying to do.



Instead of the small keyboard on the bottom of the screen, I'm thinking of having nothing.

When I tap the screen, it will bring up a big Xkbd keyboard, something like this.



After I type whatever, the Enter key will send out a normal Enter signal and then kill Xkbd.

When using Roxterm I stop MCE and also stop the hildon keyboard from appearing on the screen.
/etc/init.d/mce stop
gconftool-2 --set -t bool /system/osso/af/keyboard-attached true

So anyway, does this make sense to anyone?

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks for reading.
