 Some fixes such as #4049 account for the "normal" Mallit OSK keyboard
 height.

 But for certain languages the Mallit OSK has an extra level of keys above
 the normal QWERTY (or similar) top row.  An example language which does
 this is Vietnamese (vi).  Fixes such as #4049 do not account for this
 possibility.

 I'm not quite sure what to assign this to as it is something that
 generally has to be taken into account, as it makes the majority of the
 screen unavailable for non-keyboard use.

 Seen in OLPC 13.1.0 os8.
