[xmonad] How to use virtual/on-screen keyboard in Xmonad

Hello,
I would like to use Xmonad to set up a custom, very restricted desktop
environment on a Raspberry Pi with a touch screen.
Because there is no hardware keyboard I need a virtual keyboard. I tried
these programs: xvkbd, matchbox-keyboard, onboard, florence
Some of them work with some other programs. But when it works, it's
still buggy:
- after typing I have to click two times to a new input field to set focus
- virtual keyboard steals focus
- other windows get invisible and only come back when they get focus
(super+j)
- doesn't work at all with some programs
Is there a way to get virtual keyboards work with Xmonad, reliably and
for all programs?
Thank you!
Jakob
