Thanks for the heads up. This is the default way of using onboard on  
GNOME. Unfortunately, onboard is not maintained upstream anymore and I  
am desperately looking for a replacement (or someone to continue its  
development).

Onboard once had its own GNOME extension but that collided / competed  
with GNOME's Karibou and that led to flickering between the two  
onboard keybords. Thus, we dropped the Onboard GNOME extension DEB  
package from the build.
