Comment:

 Maliit upstream acked the idea: http://lists.maliit.org/pipermail/maliit-
 discuss-maliit.org/2012-November/000256.html

 But, coming down to implementation, this seems like a dead end. XTest and
 XSendKey are limited to keys that are on the physical keyboard, and even
 being able to access all the keys seems difficult.

 I posted to the xorg list to see if there are other alternatives.

 Also, perhaps I could have 5 minutes of Carlos G's time to see if he has
 ideas?
