Multiple matchbox-keyboard instances would occupy whole screen and cause X window segfault(Bug 509). Making matchbox-keyboard singleton is one work around. This patch allow only one instance of matchbox-keyboard based on some mechanism in matchbox-desktop. In future, an applet and GTK-IM modules in matchbox-keyboard can be used to automatically map/unmap the virtual keyboard on demand.
