you CAN use the space and don't need the kbd switcher since you can 
scroll upwards to switch the kbd.
just edt the virtual kbd reloution (the relation between width an 
height) and you can add another row of keys.
one thing you have to keep in mind: the name of the kbd MUST NOT make it 
appear firts in the list of kbds (e.g. rename the Default.kbd (or any 
other kbd that has teh correct height/widht relation) to Alpha.kbd so 
that it is firts in the list). if this is the case the illume kbd will 
not be resized and the additional row of keys will be available without 
occupying more of your precieous space. (i think this works because of 
the same bug, that prevents the illume kbd from resizing of used in 
landscape mode.
