Title:
  gnome-screensaver does not have an accessible way to enter password
  (such as onboard)

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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.
