software keyboard detached from bottom bar

Are you sure that this is a "pocketpc" rather than a "tablet" problem?

If it is a "tablet" issue, your best resource will likely be
microsoft.public.tabletpc

Nope. Definitely a PPC - it's an HP iPaq 1945.

That said, I wouldn't mind a tablet. Maybe if I can't fix this it will
be the 'excuse' to get the expenditure past my better half

Gotta tell you I have never heard of this happening, or of a hack to make it
happen. It actually would seem a blessing if it weren't for the side effects
you mention. Only thing I could recommend is a hard reset, but that is
pretty severe, as you need to make sure all your data is backed up and you
are prepared to rebuild your unit from scratch. By backup I don't mean the
whole thing, because if you did a full backup, hard reset, and restore, you
would likely restore the problem.

You could do a back and hard reset, and see if it solves the issue (I'm
confident it would) and then restore if it doesn't. I would be prepared to
rebuild though if something goes awry.

I think you will like Calligrapher. You might note that it has a pop-up
keyboard that is slideable on purpose.
