I gave a quick shot to CellWriter. It's packaged in Debian and
probably in Ubuntu too. The one feature I liked is that it's able to
send the written characters directly to the currently focused window,
even though this window may belong to another program. It does so by
faking X key press events. Looking at the source code of CellWriter,
it appears that it uses Xlib directly. Currently, scim-tegaki can
achieve the same functionality thanks to scim but tegaki-recognize
can't: it just copies the characters to the clipboard.
There appears to be no straightforward way to do the same in GTK
(maybe in Qt?), but I found several links with workarounds:

also http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/sec-gdkevent.html)
However this code is highly platform-dependent...
