From what I heard is that if you only have 1 keyboard enabled then it won't show up. For me though, when I only have 1 keyboard enabled sometimes the icon will be there and sometimes not...buggy.

Its probably because HTC sense screws with ics too much

FWIW - It doesnt happen on SlimRom with the default keyboard, but does happen with the TouchPal keyboard.....

I could be completely wrong about this but my understanding of the keyboard icon in your taskbar was happening because you have an "installed" keyboard. It's not stock. The keyboard application is what is putting that icon there.

Well, lets just say Im not going to use the HTC keyboard.. I installed the ICS keyboard from the market, and am using it until, I decide if I wanna flash a new rom (aka slimrom) that has the aosp keyboard built in.
