Hi,

I trigger the Illume keyboard via matchbox-keyboard-im (not packaged
yet, but patch available at http://bugs.debian.org/538041). It works
mostly great. But sometime, e.g. when switching between applications,
the applications request the keyboard to hide and appear in very short
succession. Illume reacts immeditally, causing flicker and resizings in
the applications, which is irritiating.

I suggest that Illume, after receiving such a XEvent from an
application, would wait for a very short period of time (say, 50ms)
before actually acting. This way, when the opposite requests follows
right after it, the user will not notice.

Thanks,
Joachim
