Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
STEPS
1. install Ubuntu on a slate tablet (no physical keyboard)
2. after installation, go get tea
3. observe that Ubuntu has locked the screen with a password
4. go track down a USB keyboard
This is a bug because the password dialog does not honor the usage of
onboard (or seemingly any other on-screen keyboard) in the same way that
gdm does. When I logged in to Ubuntu, I had the option of popping up an
onscreen keyboard, and was able subsequently enable it for my normal X
session via System > Preferences > Accessability.
