to use Onboard. The user was asked to create a new bug report for their
issue but may not do so.

The nexus7 issue is fixed (update-notifier does not pop up gksu anymore
but uses pkexec which is usable with onboard).
While gksu is still broken in this regard (so leaving that bug task
open) and xdiagnose still uses it (leaving that open as well) you will
not get into a situation on the nexus7

i found a little work around for this... if you touch/hold your finger
somewhere else on the screen you can usually (not always which i don't
understand) then type with another touch input.
just in case i'm not being clear - touch screen with left hand then
right hand type.

for fixing the remianing issues in raring (where the plan is to get rid of gksu
in favour of using pkexec everywhere), it would be good to know when exactly

Well, we'd love to add this as a feature, but I'm not aware of anything
that would allow us to generally exempt Onboard from pointer grabs. If
this exists, I'd be interested to learn about it.
Back in GTK2 times Onboard used to have a toggle for Password dialogs
as normal windows, which basically

Since no one has mentioned it yet, gksu's grab can be turned off:
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/gksu/disable-grab --type boolean true
or for a little gui run
$ gksu-properties
and select Grab mode: disable
You should then be able to type passwords with Onboard.

options in the Assistive Technologies section of Ubuntu Preferences (the
one below Enable assistive technologies). My only thought is that if
