hmm, but it is on USB drive that will be connected just at login
screen, so password must then be supplied somehow, so probably the
same problem

I just installed fvwm and run:
# export DISPLAY=:0.0
# fvwm2
# kdialog --inputbox "enter: "

now when moving mouse over kdialog, I can see that kdialog frame
border changes, so I am guessing that it gets a focus, but
unfortunatelly I still cannot insert text. Clicking buttons with mouse
still works ok.
