Well, nothing should be missing in the sources, those should be 100% binary and 99% source code equivalents to stock closed source packages.

libhildon-im-vkbrenderer.so.3.0.3 draws buttons on the VKB(it interacts with libimlayouts.so too).

hildon_western_fkb.so draws menu/numbers/space buttons and does clipboard interaction, autocomplete, language switching, etc and draws the buttons by calling libhildon-im-vkbrenderer.so.3.0.3

What is missing is proper portrait mode support :

http://wiki.maemo.org/Using_Fremantl...tation_Changes

The widget that should be set portrait mode support flag is priv->fkb_window created in hildon-im-western-fkb.c (AIUI)

The catch is that VKB layout should change when rotated, that is why I prefer someone knowing GTK better that me to play with GtkHBox/GtkVBox and such

EDIT:
BTW new .vkb files with proper vkb buttons layout will be needed too, but that should be a trivial(even if time consuming) task.
