Handwriting recognition has never been a part of the X windowing system, and if you have a Bluetooth keyboard associated with the N800, you can most definitely run X applications with keyboard. The virtual keyboard/handwriting layer on the N800 is done not at the X protocol level, but at the GTK level. There's no way for the X server to "know" that the specific X window you have given focus to is a "keyboard" type input - the only solution would be for any window which can accept focus to cause the launch of the virtual keyboard. And note: what X considers a "window" is not the same as what you or I consider a window - any button, scroll bar, or just about any focusable object is a "window" to X. Now, if you want to complain about the window manager losing a minimized window, so that any non-Hildonized program once minimized cannot be maximized, I'll be right behind you saying Amen!
