[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Disable virtual keyboard

[From: Antti Ijäs]

Hi,

There are several ways to disable the virtual keyboard, this is one that
I would prefer:

You can edit the file /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules and comment the two
lines with the name hildon attached to them (keep the X Input Method in
place though).

If you want to disable it for a selected list of apps, you can point the
enviroment variable 'GTK_IM_MODULE' to a different immodule file when
you run the application like this:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules_one_that_I_just_saved

Not exactly a programming interface but I hope this is good enough :)
