Android 4.2 gesture typing doesn't work, neither does voice typing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a device with Android 4.2 such as a Nexus 4 or 7 whose stock keyboard 
has a swype-like feature.
2. Try to type on the keyboard by sliding you finger, or hit the mic button on 
the keyboard and speak
3. Nothing happens.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is for the swiped word to be typed as soon as the keyboard 
detects it, or for the speech to be typed out, since android normally 
transcribes it.

Using Gmote 2.0.7 on a Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.1 and Ubuntu 12.10 on the 
computer.

Please provide any additional information below.

Also the control key and arrow keys on the popular Hacker's Keyboard android 
app doesn't work.
