[Bug 234074] Re: xvkbd does not work in kdm-kde4

[Stephan Schnitzer]

I can confirm this bug and have the same problem. 
It probably applies to all virtual keyboards, I tried cellwriter and xvkbd. They display correctly but don't receive any input events.
If I use kdm from kde3 (from http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net, which is now offline) and insert exactly the same line to /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup, everything works fine.

This problem seems to be related to some new security features, added to
kdm 4.1 to prevent evil programs log and manipulate your keyboard during
login (or at least make it more difficult). However nobody seems to know
how to disable this new feature.

Now that http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net was disabled in request to
kubuntu developers, the only usable workaround (using kde3 instead of
kde4) has gone.

** Changed in: xvkbd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: xvkbd => kdebase-workspace
