Marek, installing that illume-config package was the first thing I did
yesterday. It only gives the "qwerty" button in the upper left corner.
I have not found a way to enable the spanner.

My apologies if I have offended you. I just want to understand why
some good things were being left out at this stage. If you would give
the reason to not use the keyboard like in the raster-image (or
excluding  the full-qwerty.kbd) at this point it would help me very
much in understanding it.
