I couldn't figure out a way to call any sort of native dialog boxes, and it doesn't look like KUAL provides that functionality, so my solution was kind kludgey and convoluted.
I have a script calling kterminal to launch another script that uses zsh's built-in ncurses functionality to draw dialog boxes asking for your hostname and password.
Features I've implemented include full mouse/touchscreen support, functional backspace, enter, and esc keys, working ok and cancel buttons.
This works great on my paperwhite. I assume it won't work properly on other devices, but I have no way to test.
Anyway, I've included everything in the form of a KUAL extension. Just drop the kindlevncviewer folder into your extensions directory and you should be good to go.
Requires kterminal to be installed, also requires zsh to be installed to /usr/bin. On my system it was already there. Might have been included in the jailbreak. It's also included in usbnetworking.
Try it out and let me know if you run into any issues!

Hi this is a dumb question but I can't see the semicolon on the keyboard anywhere to be able to enter the port? Maybe that's why the connection is not working for me...
