There is now a Preferences Menu option (with a check mark) to "Show xkbd". This option gets saved so that xkbd will show up (or not) when you start xword.

It still checks for the presence of /usr/bin/xkbd, and does not give you the Preference menu option if the binary isn't available.

So this really isn't a necessary update, but it makes it a bit nicer since xkbd is launched by xword. Also, this way the xkbd gets closed when the xword application exits.
I love you and wanna have your baby....hehehehe...seriously though thanks a bunch for getting this on the road to ported over.

I had to uninstall everything last night because something buggered screen taps in microB. And it was after xkbd just quit on me a few times. But have not had time to make sure I did the xkbd install correctly.

I think the opriginal author must have gotten bizzy with other stuff and/or nobody actually showed interest. But I the app seems to run OK for the most part on the tablet.

Can't wait to give the new setup a try tonight. thanks a bunch for all the work on it!
