Gesture update: All the gestures work on the h-i-m keyboard except space.
It's almost like space has been disabled somehow... If you look at my screenshot above, the spacebar is grayed-out, like it is disabled. And the gesture doesn't work either. Stskeeps, does the spacebar work in your deblet version? Perhaps this is a problem with the example keyboard interfacing with the running OS2008 daemon...
I guess I can't include this in my Easy Debian. It's a shame; it would be very cool.

Aha! A clue! From here:
The suggested fix looks like the addition of the following codes to our .Xmodmap file:
EDIT:
I saved this file as /home/user/.Xmodmap-keymap and added "xmodmap /home/user/.Xmodmap-keymap" as the first line of my Debian /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart file, and hey presto, matchbox-keyboard works flawlessly.

When you boot a device without pressing any button at a physical keyboard, X will not map the keycodes and modifiers. Without the modifiers the virtual keyboard matchbox-keyboard breaks when using 'Shift', 'Alt' or 'Caps'.
This patch adds a session file that maps the keycodes and modifiers with 'xmodmap' when loading X, fixing the matchbox-keyboard problem.
Code:
add shift = Shift_L Shift_R add lock = Caps_Lock add control = Control_L Control_R add mod1 = Alt_L add mod2 = Num_Lock add mod4 = Mode_switch
I saved this file as /home/user/.Xmodmap-keymap and added "xmodmap /home/user/.Xmodmap-keymap" as the first line of my Debian /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart file, and hey presto, matchbox-keyboard works flawlessly.

Good.. cuz xkbd worked like crap. I grabbed an ubuntu source 0.8.5.. it was the only source I could find... and trying to compile it there was problems in the Makefile regarding a "numsonly" binary... so I had to modify the Makefile and removed those just to get it to compile and install.. (which probably stopped some functionality.. like a 10-key or something)
after that it ran.. and appeared to work fine except various letters and keys aren't mapped correctly and instead print "o" and then repeat over and over again. There was a few warnings about the xmodmap not being in the correct format so I venture that it installs it's own xmodmap that needs to be modified.. but I'll stop working with it if H-I-M already works. Xkbd is a nightmare.
