[SOLVED] Changing gnome's default on-screen keyboard

I recently bought a convertible ultrabook so that I could try some of the new touch screen features of gnome shell.  Unfortunately, their touchscreen keyboard is god awful.  After some googling, I found onboard, which works quite nicely.  But I can't find a way to get the default gnome keyboard to stop popping up on top of it.  I've already tried deleting the autostart entry as shown here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1858790) to no avail.

Re: [SOLVED] Changing gnome's default on-screen keyboard

#gnome-shell on irc.gnome.org was kind enough to provide the following:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

This will disable the default gnome keyboard.  I'm still at a loss as to getting onboard to listen for the correct triggering even, as was posted in another of my issues, but this is workable. I'm marking this one as solved.
