(Get the code!)
There is no single call to toggle visibility in the D-Bus interface, that's true. It can be pieced together with what is available, but doing this from the command line is somewhat cumbersome. Would it help if I added a ToggleVisibilty method? I'd prefer doing this over adding a global keyboard shortcut.
In Kubuntu Saucy auto-show mostly works for me. I haven't tried with Raring, but I suspect not much has changed. I'm not fully sure what is and isn't installed by default, but I would start with
$ sudo apt-get install qt-at-spi libatk-adaptor
Then turn on auto-show in Onboard's preferences
Preferences-
and log out and in again.
Concerning your script, If you don't notice the delay, then killing and restarting Onboard should be alright. Pressed keys are still released and stuff like window position and word suggestions (in 0.99.0) is saved, as long as you don't kill -9 it. However, our intention is to keep Onboard running to allow auto-show do its job.
