We need to start somewhere. Our ideas are good, we should work together to get it working!
You wouldn't want to use Python to implement the primary keyboard - the overhead of loading python would make it way too slow. It needs written in C (which I don't do.)

I'd think it would be easy to grab a screenshot and use that as the background, then draw semi-transparent keys on top of it. Hooking into the GTK events that trigger the keyboard is probably the hardest part.
