I am very excited by this, and will be very eager to hear your discoveries. I will continue to mess about with Xephyr in the meantime...

It is Debian xvkbd that is irritating me. matchbox-keyboard has problems, too, like being super-tiny, weird resizing issues, and hiding half the screen in OS2008, but it's the best one I've found in Debian.

I was going to release it in the next couple of days, but it was going to be a very basic bugfix release (clean up things like clock/timezone, image file location, etc), with Bundyo's window opener being the major enhancement. I would be very interested in using a real programmer's script; I have little formal CS training, and my amateurish scripts show it... quite painfully. So, please, let's collaborate!!
