This is precessor of the python script I wrote earlier.

!!!! This is first version so install this with your own risk. !!!

Installation instructions:
1) install attached deb file. It will install following files:
/etc/event.d/bluetooth-keyboard
/usr/bin/BlueKlase
2) Get your keyboard id using instruction from http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_Blue..._Automatically
2) Edit attached settings.txt file and put your keyboard id there.
3) Copy file to /home/user/.config/BlueKlase/ folder.
4) rename it to settings.conf
5) Restart your phone

BlueKlase should start automatically and the system should work.

Future development:
- Optify
- Create control panel widget to be able to add new keyboards more easily. This will also create the settings.conf file and starts the BlueKlase after exit. No more reboot needed.
- Put application to Extras-devel, create bug reporting (if this is really needed)
- Disable virtual keyboard when hw keyboard is attached and enable it again after keyboard is disconnected (if it was enabled anyway).
This is how I interpret the work you mention above. By installing the attached file BlueKlase my n900 will only need for me to include my keyboard id into the attached txt file which will be renamed to settings.conf and placed in a directory named folder contained in the path you provide above. Don't I need to be able to pair my keyboard to the n900 so that there will be a keyboard id? I then restart my phone. Following this procedure will then allow me to pair with my bluetooth keyboard. Have I got this correct and do I need to disable virtual keyboard manually before doing a restart?
