Comment:

 In build 4 we do miss the immodules, missing packages are: maliit-
 framework-gtk2 and maliit-framework-gtk3

 For the gtk2 immodules the cache has not been updated (for gtk3 it has
 been). A simple test will show this:

 - install examples: maliit-framework-examples (this is not signed yet)

 - set the env variable: export GTK_IM_MODULE=Maliit

 - run: maliit-exampleapp-gtk3

 ---> clicking in an entry will reveal the keyboard automatically

 - run: maliit-exampleapp-gtk2

 ---> clicking in an entry does NOT reveal the keyboard automatically, I
 can manually reveal it using the show button in the test app

 - update the cache: gtk-query-immodules-2.0-32 > /etc/gtk-2.0/armv7hl-
 redhat-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules

 run: maliit-exampleapp-gtk2

 ---> clicking in an entry does reveal the keyboard automatically


 Background info:

 The query script for GTK+ 3 is: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.0/gtk-
 query-immodules-3.0.html

 The one for GTK+ 2 is: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/gtk-query-
 immodules-2.0.html

 The cache in Fedora for GTK+ 3 is placed in
 "/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache" this works fine for the rpms.

 For the cache in Fedora for GTK+ 2
 "/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/gtk.immodules" should work, but
 doesn't, "/etc/gtk-2.0/armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules" does. This
 path is as well listed at [1] to be the correct one.

 The Gtkmodules_packaging_guideline [2][3] gives the following instructions
 for updating the cache.
