Bug Description

On a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.04.2 I found that the program "kvkbd" doesn't show the keyboard by default.

Then I saw the file kvkbdrc in ~/.kde/share/config and It had a geometry like this:

KvkbdFont=Ubuntu,8.53333,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
extentVisible=true
geometry=-10000,10000,689,235
locked=false
showdock=false
visible=true

[Notification Messages]
systemtrayquitKvkbd=false

I have changed the geometry to 10, 10,689,235, then the file is left like this;

 KvkbdFont=Ubuntu,8.53333,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
extentVisible=true
geometry=10,10,689,235
locked=false
showdock=false
visible=true

[Notification Messages]
systemtrayquitKvkbd=false

What I changed was the XY coordinates in screen of the keyboard and vuala! A virtual keyboard in screen.

I reported back time this problem in kde.org, but they dismissed me, because the problem is with you... Ubuntu packaging; https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313418

I never had the problem with Debian, OpenSuse, Fedora... using the same program and installing the packages from their own repositories.

So why by default, on a fresh install the geometry of kvkdb is out the boundaries of the screen?
