iOS 5: Any way to prevent keyboard splitting?

The new splittable/movable keyboard in iOS5 is not suitable for the UI of an app I'm currently working on. We'd like to fix it in place at the bottom as was the norm pre-iOS 5. Any thoughts on how to do this and prevent the user from moving/splitting the keyboard?

Cheers!

It is currently not possible to prevent keyboard splitting. The most you can hope for is to either

  1. Provide user feedback after the user splits the keyboard notifying them that this is not the best user experience and is not supported by your app.
  2. Roll your own keyboard

IMO, #1 is the best approach. Rolling your own keyboard -- with localization support -- is almost never practical.
