Maliit onscreen keyboard installed on MSI Windpad 110w tablet in Saucy,but will not open

I downloaded Maliit keyboard via 'apt-get' and the install went ahead without a hitch,however the joy ends there as I am at a loss as to why it will not work.Maliit ran perfectly on this tablet in 12.04 LTS. Could someone please provide me with definitive instructions on how to properly download and configure Maliit for 13.10. Thank-you in advance.
