Hello,
Tablet pc users, kiosk mode users and disabled users with only the pointer for input do need an onscreen keyboard at the login screen. What about adding an item to the Options menu of the themed login screen to start the simple onscreen keyboard. (For the plain login screen, the alternative would be to add an Accessibility menu next to the Session and Language menu.) In any case, concerning the onscreen keyboard, this would be more userfriendly than the gestures method. (Once systemwide dwelling arrives to gnome, the accessibility menu/Options menu should also open automatically by hovering with the pointer over it.) I filed a Request For Enhancement bug against gdm with this request. Here it is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463713 In Particular: In Ubuntu Feisty, the simple onscreen keyboard called onboard does run with a hack at the login screen. This shows at least that there is some demand for it and I filed a similar rfe-bugs against gdm in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/130368 Best Regards.
