This affects the practicality of Ubuntu as an operating system on my
Dell Venue 8 Pro. Encrypting just the home directory is not really a
satisfactory alternative, nor is carrying a USB keyboard at all times. I
found this:

as a rudimentary example of what could be implemented as a quick hack. I
don't have the experience to modify it in a very helpful way, but in my
tests, if I set MOUSEFILE in osk_mouse.c to "/dev/input/mice", I am able
to _somewhat_ control it via the touchscreen – emphasis on "somewhat".
