I've not compiled the E17 desktop - just the libraries that power it. I want to run some of my python applications that are written in EFL/Elementary on my N9.

I'll look into xmimd, but I am still interested in a cleaner manner for calling up the onscreen keyboard.

EDIT: Maybe I am using Xmimd wrong, perhaps it doesn't work with EFL (a lot of it looks GTK specific), or maybe it just doesn't work with applications running natively on Meego (not in a chroot).

At any rate I can't seem to make it display the OSK.
