The illume keyboard supports the matchbox protocol that works over x11
xevents, that's why I've written this small c program [1] that basically
sends the "_MB_IM_INVOKER_COMMAND" x-atom that can control the illume
(and matchbox) keyboard.
You can try this binary too, simply run "illume-kbd-show" to show the
keyboard it and "illume-kbd-show -k" to hide it.
Using that code as base we could also use the ecore_x keyboard atoms
(_E_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD*) to select the keyboard to be used and so on...
