matchbox-keyboard Matchbox mode is not working

In the original version (I'm currently using the one provided by Yocto http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/matchbox-keyboard/) this keyboard is working well with Matchbox.

It fill the width and align at the bottom. The other window (in my case, chromium browser) is resized so it doesn't overlap with the keyboard.

I don't know why, but on commit 5ff30720514c806d442e95f0670a53f8ebc416ac that cool feature was commented-out. Do you have any idea about?

See https://github.com/xlab/matchbox-keyboard/blame/matchbox-keyboard-xlab/src/matchbox-keyboard-ui.c#L955

I find this feature useful and I'm going to enable it on my fork and test it.

@alepez I suppose it didn't work well with matchbox shipped with Maemo 4 on my n810 back then. I never tried it with vanilla matchbox. Feel free to send PR if it works.

@alepez did it work? If so, we could merge.

@xlab it worked, but I think it should be optional, maybe enabled by a command line flag.

This was enough to enable the old matchbox toolbar-like behavior. But I guess other matchbox users prefer the window-like behavior.

When I've a couple of minutes I can do a PR with a new command line flag that enable this, instead of enabling if matchbox wm is found.
