moin,
you could edit /usr/bin/matchbox-keyboard-toggle (simpley python) to  
open/close xvkbd instead matchbox-keyboard. you can also give xvkbd a  
- -geometry <width>x<height>+<x>+<y> to tel it where to appear on the  
screen.

(like i do in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup xvkbd -xdm -compact -geometry  
480x210+0+430 &)

regards, morlac
