e/illume support the matchbox protocol - install the mb input plugin for gtk
and it will work. qt (qte) shipped by om already has patches to support the
property method for entry fields. e/illum support as many protocols as i could
find (also support the multitap input plugin protocol from matchbox). the
property one is e/illumes own proto (should be more reliable and solid than the
matchbox ones).
