Ok, Benson, if I can gesture a space on any key, then no.

I just wish there was a non-flakey virtual keyboard. It is kinda depressing that such a central component is so problematic.

I can only find matchbox-keyboard, xvkbd, and (the currently untested) gok (Gnome onscreen keyboard). Any others out there? Does xkbd work better, and if so, can fatalsaint compile it and put it in his repo? Is this a problem with something below the keyboard, something wrong with the implementation of X in Xephyr?
