Yes this is my exact problem too. Even though I have painstakingly followed each piece of advice to the letter it all is for nothing since when I run the command 'hildon-im-xkbtool --list' my keyboard does not show up even though it has 'paired successfully'.

I am using the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and the latest version of Maemo and I have enabled the input profile is disabled in my bluetooth configuration.

In another post I read someone say that they had to recompile some or other kernel to get the apple keyboard to show up in the 'hildon-im'xbtool' list, but due to his 'principles' he refused to post this kernel. I do not know much about kernels myself.
