Title:
  Unable to unmaximize Onboard in Unity

Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard:
  Confirmed
Status in onboard package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in onboard source package in Oneiric:
  Won't Fix
Status in onboard source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The bug has been solved for Unity-2D, GNOME shell and GNOME Classic,
  but is still available in Unity.

  Ways to unmaximize Onboard in Unity are: 
  - double clicking the top bar
  - Alt+drag
  - Alt-right click

  The original bug description was: 
  ---------------------------------

  If you maximize the onboard keyboard with the launcher set to dodge
  windows, the onboard keyboard takes over the desktop and, you can no
  longer do anything other than use the session menu to log out.

  This is because the onboard keyboard window buttons (close, minimize,
  maximize) no longer appear (since the global menu is used for the
  window with focus) and because the onboard keyboard is always drawn
  over other windows. So even if you alt-tab to switch focus to another
  window, you cannot see it. I didn't try the 'show desktop' keyboard
  shortcut, but even if it makes the keyboard disappear I suspect that
  most users won't be aware of it so they'll just think that something
  has crashed.

  See attached image for an example. The keyboard is maximized and the
  global menu shows the currently focused application, so there is no
  way to un-maximize the keyboard.

  If the launcher is set to never hide, you can at least use its 'quit'
  function to kill the onboard keyboard.

  Perhaps the onboard keyboard should never be allowed to be maximized,
  so that it always has a titlebar and can therefore always be moved.

  Why does the keyboard always run at startup, anyway? It isn't in the
  startup applications, so how do I disable it? Or is Oneiric trying to
  be a tablet-only OS?
