blassey, mfinkle, stuart: just to make it done for a2 (and also help with some resize issues), I was thinking of just disable the text-autocomplete feature at all using gconf from debian postinst (during fennec installation)
later, in a followup bug, get it done in a better way (as I explained to mfinkle yesterday: disabling it whenever fennec window get focused).
note that it would affect other applications once it would get disable for the whole system. might be evil ...
thoughs ?

WIP patch.
the patch basically disables the word-completion widget everytime a top level fennec window gets the focus and reset it to the previous state whenever thistopWindow loses focus. All done via gconf (nsIGContService).
it is functional already but pretty much WIP so far. If you like the idea, I'd improve it and and make it to work w/ a fennec specific pref in mobile.js (something like platform.work_completion_widget_disabled, true) .
thoughts ?

Patch 0.1 works as following:
whenever fennec/maemo main window gets the focus, it verifies (through GConf) what is the current status of the system property related to the word completion widget. If it is enabled, we disable it (also through gconf). When the main fennec window loses the focus (window is closed, or other app is in use, for example) we restore the previous property value before our change so that that the widget completion useful for other applications.
Open questions:
1) should we have a preference for enabling/disabling this behaviour, or should it be just the default behaviour (as it) ?
2) right now patch relies on "nsIGConfService" which is not available on maemo platform by default (service gets built and available only if both gconf, gnome-vfs and libgnome are available, but maemo lacks the later - see /toolkit/system/gnome). Should we make GConfService available for maemo in a blocker bug of this one, which is easy, or should we rely on MOZ_ENABLE_GCONF, which is available, and instead of using the nsIGConfService we call gconf API methods straight (e.g. gconf_client_set_bool ) ?

same idea as previous patches but 0.2 uses stock gconf (if available) instead of nsGConfService (which does not build for maemo by default - lack of libgnomeui)

patch v0.2 - ready for review.
asking stuart to review.
one point: w/ patch 0.2 both virtual and physical keyboards will get the widget-completion disabled.
(note they behaviour differently in which case).
(note2: i will fix the typos in the comments).
