the only "pointing device" it has is the touch screen, which means that i'll need to maximize the amount of stuff i can do with the keyboard. i vaguely remember, but never have used, a kde accessibility package that effectively used the arrow keys to replace the mouse.
Not KDE, but maybe keynav ( http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/keynav ) would work? Or xwarppointer ( http://ishiboo.com/~danny/Projects/xwarppointer/ ) plus glue code?
and because of the screen size, i especially want kicker to disappear when it's not in actual use, i'd like to be able to show/hide it with a key combination or some such.
There are auto-hiding options in the panel configuration. Then you'd just need to create a hotkey binding to send the pointer to a specific screen location to show it again.
