This would also be needed for proper integration of other input methods
like a Bluetoth keyboard (or HID in general). For a BT keyboard the
automatically popping up of the input method should for example be
avoided or at least mad a selectable option. Or like it is done for the
internet connections if you focus an input widget you could be asked if
you want to use BT-HID or the on-screen input method... or something
else along these lines.

For all of such the input method callbacks should be available and for
other input method kinds like the one Ole proposed also the API for
simulationg keystrokes should be available or at least documented which
one is used - is it maybe something Matchbox? I thought that Matthew has
written seom new approach of his old libvirtkeys...
