I think Linux Mint should have it's default onscreen keyboard just like Windows and Ubuntu. I suggest you fork Ubuntu's onboard onscreen keyboard. Onscreen keyboards are very useful for speakers of other languages namely Arabic because you get mixed up when using an English keyboard to type. Besides sometimes your keyboard is stuck and you are left with only a mouse like this guy here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=170574&p=876697#p876567
