Thanks Javispedro. After testing some Easy Debian softwares running outside LXDE (i.e., without xephyr), the following work in fullscreen with translucent vkb : Gnumeric, TeXMaker, wxMaxima.
I use the command :
$ xmimd -t -x <window-id> -v
as user in MeeGo Terminal.
The more practical "wmctrl" is not present in MeeGo, just in Debian (image), so I run "wmctrl" in Debian terminal.

Anyway, I am not convinced that vkb outside LXDE is useful (to Easy Debian) due to some limitations :
- some open/save/about windows are not fullscreen and not fully visible so cannot be closed;
- it is more difficult to gain focus to make the vkb visible;
- only some softwares in fullscreen outside LXDE has working vkb.
