I'm using TclKit on my Nokia 770. This is a very nice way to put this
device to use, but I haven't figured out how to get any keyboard input
into the applications. Any text type widgets (entry, text etc.) do
not respond by popping up the input keyboard as other Maemo
applications do. Does anyone know how to do this?

Unfortunately, it isn't an easy problem to solve. The n770 might run
Linux but the supplied windowing environment (Hildon)is quite different
to your typical X11 window manager.
Meredydd Luff did a bunch of work on interfacing Tcl/Tk with various
Hildon features - those mods are in the tclkit you've been using. As
you've noticed, integrating with the Hildon virtual keyboard wasn't one
of the mods, and will probably require Tcl bindings to D-Bus and/or libOsso.
Alternatively, you could take the approach that Steve Redler did and use
one of the pure-Tk virtual keyboards from the Wiki.
