Howdy!
Several people have asked me about the super sweet on-screen keyboard in the bottom right corner of the Byobu video I presented at UDS...
Ted Gould introduced me to an awesome Google Code project called key-mon, by Scott Kirkwood.
He actually had Debian/Ubuntu packaging along with his source code, so I just reviewed, built it, and uploaded it to the Ubuntu Oneiric universe archive.
Once you've installed it, it's trivial to use... You can run it directly from Applications -> Graphics -> KeyMon. Or you can run key-mon from the command line, where there are numerous options, which are detailed in the manpage.
Big thanks to the developers of key-mon, for the useful tool! I can this being very helpful for many Ubuntu screencasts, demonstrations, and classrooms. Give it try ;-)
Cheers!

While you're at it, could you include Screenkey [1] too? It's similar to key-mon and shares some code. It's shows input as a banner at the bottom of the screen. Take a look at the video [2].

Thanks for the pointer, Christoph. I'll contact the author and offer to upload to Ubuntu!
