Definately! (Though I would hardly call myself unwary ;-)

Remove gpe-kbd from the appmgr, leave in gpe-kbd-setup. Setup can have
show/hide kbd buttons which do "The Right Thing". This also avoids
having two icons for a keyboard. Hell, we could even fold gpe-kbd into a
generic gpe-setup tool, and use only the dock for launching xkbd.
