Bug description:
The current UX for tablets or when converged with a mouse attached is
a bit of a placeholder showing the default phablet user.
We need to support two modes of the greeter that scales according to
the available input devices. The first one is one that works across
mobile and tablet devices in non-mouse connected / touch-centric
state. Unlocking with no mouse connected would be exactly as it is
today on the phone, which displays the Infographic until you touch the
screen, and then you get a message that says "swipe to unlock" If you
don't have a pin code set, the screen unlocks. if you have a pincode
set, the touch pincode-entry pad appears.
If a mouse is connected, however, you get the more "desktop-friendly"
greeter with the infographic, user-name and password entry field (just
like what we have today) on tablet. If the user taps or clicks into
the password edit box, the OSK is popped up (unless an external
keyboard is also attached). If no password or pincode has been set,
then instead of the password entry field, you would instead have a
"login" button that clears the greeter.
On a tablet with mouse connected and no pincode set, the user could
either swipe away the greeter or tap on the login button. If the user
has a password/pincode set and attempts to swipe away the greeter, we
should put up a hint message asking the user to enter their
password/pincode to continue.
This incremental enhancement to recognize the mouse is more consistent
with convergence because tablets are mobile devices, and if no mouse
is attached, we should follow a touch-centric approach. In a mouse-
connected state, we can assume the user will be favoring that device.
===============
Immediate problem: "phablet" name on the greeter login list. A bigger
refactoring of the greeter for bigger screens will follow.
