* creation and signal connections

 (...)
 GtkIMContext *YourGtkIMContext = gtk_im_multicontext_new ();
 (...)
 g_signal_connect (YourGtkIMContext, "commit",
G_CALLBACK(your_im_context_commit_cb), pointer);
 g_signal_connect (YourGtkIMContext, "has_selection",
G_CALLBACK(your_im_context_has_selection_cb), pointer);
 g_signal_connect (YourGtkIMContext, "clipboard_operation",
G_CALLBACK(your_im_clipboard_operation_cb), pointer);
 (... more signals here)


* popping vkb up:

(..)
        gtk_im_context_focus_in (YourGtkIMContext);
        hildon_gtk_im_context_show (YourGtkIMContext);
(..)

hiding:

(..)
        gtk_im_context_focus_out (YourGtkIMContext);
        gtk_im_context_reset (YourGtkIMContext);
        hildon_gtk_im_context_hide (YourGtkIMContext);
(..)

my 2 cents
