Hi!

I'm not sure if "no" is the definite answer :-)

Please take a look at /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc, there you'll find at least 3 possible ways to interfere:

[X-*-Core]
Reset=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xreset
Session=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xsession
Setup=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup
Startup=/etc/trinity/tdm/Xstartup

[X-*-Greeter]
Preloader=/opt/trinity/bin/preloadkde

Please note that /opt/trinity/bin/preloadkde does not exist on my system, but it's name is somewhat inviting ...

If the analogy with xdm holds for tdm, then /etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup is most likely the file you want to touch: Start xvkbd or what ever virtual keyboard you like to use. I'm quite sure that you will need to disable "Secure Attention Key". Maybe you'll have to kill the virtual keyboard from /etc/trinity/tdm/Xstartup.
