The window is being managed by matchbox. Maemo input-methods (keyboard, 
hwr) use their own protocol to communicate directly with gtk-widgets. 
You have to implement this protocol in text-entry fltk-widgets. In order 
to get program shown in taskbar (which is a pager, not  a component of 
window manager) you have to provide valid .desktop file. Instructions to 
do this is in maemo.org documentation.
