Great!

This is a workaround. The solution is to redesign the UI in order to
fit into device screen.
By the way I'm going to modify Qt in order to wrap the QDialog content
widgets with a QScrollArea. The scrollbars will shown
automatically when needed.
Thus no changes are needed to have a working Qt app in maemo.
However for a better usability the developer MUST adapt the UI to the
small screen size.

You need to port the hildon input method.
The code that you need is in the "hildon-input-method-framework".
 apt-get source hildon-input-method-framework
