with a few changes (starting/killing xvkbd instead matchbox-keyboard)
in lines 18 and 20:
----
18: os.system("kill -s KILL `pidof /usr/bin/matchbox-keyboard`")
=> os.system("kill -s KILL `pidof  /usr/bin/xvkbd`")
----
20: os.system("matchbox-keyboard &")
=> os.system("xvkbd -xdm -compact -geometry <put it where you like> &")
----
(untested version of xvkbd-toggle attached)

btw - is there a solution for not working apm yet?
on resume from suspend it seems the filesystems don't get re-mounted  
properly ..
