Let me promote myself a bit more

This can be interesting for ones who use non-english kbd layouts:
LayoutSwitcher is a statusbar applet that:
* shows your current keyboard layout
* can prevent onscreen keyboard appearing (useful for n800 users)
* provides alternative way to copy selected text (useful when there is no corresponding menu, for example in Pidgin's logs)
* also works on OS2006 and OS2007 (but can't block keyboard on OS2006)

By the way, on n8xx.com we use many idioms and metaphors that make a special russian internet-tablets related slang. I wonder how google traslate will understand these words:
таблетка (pron. "tabletka"; literally, "the pill") - the internet tablet (because of consonance with "tablet")
ББ (abbreviated "Большой Брат", literally "The Big Brother") - the desktop PC (from "1984")
... and more
