This feature is not a whish - it is a very very important MUST.
As sonn as Onboard is installed it has to be available
to login when there is no real keyboard plugged in -
this is for touchscreens the most important function a virtual keyboard can have.

The news Ubuntu 13.04 is dedicated to tablets and touchscreens.
So how to log into a tablet without a virtual keyboard available?

A virtual keyboard that is not available to use at login is 99% useless -
and lets say it hard as it is:
A virtual keyboard which is not at hand for login
a soon as it is installed - this is pure nonsense!

Did you ever see an ipad with a real keyboard attached just for login?
