Maliit-server acts as a host for input plugins, and Jolla-keyboard
implements such and has the qml parts. The content is drawn in a
separate window, and Lipstick handles the window composition. 

Maliit passes the used keyboard area to application via the qt input
plugin so the app knows which area to avoid for active content, and
maliit also sets the window properties so Lipstick knows which area of
the window should get mouse events.
