On screen Keybord non responsive for "Report problem" due to update-notifier using gksu

[Ben]

When I choose to "report a problem" via the dialog box, my password is requested, so the keyboard pops up, but, I think, due to the greying out of the all but the password request box the keyboard does not respond to touches.

After downloading and installing "raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img.gz" I find that about 10 secouds after the machine has loaded the desktop something crashes .. the dialog box asks if I want to just cancel or Report the problem .. when I choose to report the problem I exsperencie this issue mentioned above

You might want to know I am using the 32GB Nexus 7 Wifi only version, with the MultiBoot hack from XDA in place.

sorry if I have not reported enough detail or this is already known about... let me know if you want more detail.

what is the content of /var/crash ?

apparently update-notifier still uses gksu instead of pkexec, gksu grabs the focus and suppresses other application inputs (oncluding onboard).
the code needs to be changed to use pkexec instead, which is:
a) the current standard in ubuntu to gain privileges and
b) does properly work with onscreen keyboards.

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 0.130

---------------
update-notifier (0.130) raring; urgency=low

  * Only create a single GSettings instance for com.ubuntu.update-notifier,
    rather than several.
  * Remove unused u_abort function.
  * Make several more functions static that aren't used from other
    compilation units.
  * Correct a number of imprecise prototypes.
  * Defer instantiating GtkBuilders until the corresponding user interfaces
    actually need to be displayed, saving memory when they don't.
  * Restore code to keep a handle to crash and reboot notifications, so that
    they can be closed by later code (at least for notification-daemon
    users).
  * Fix several leaks of NotifyNotification objects.
  * Don't call show_hooks (which now includes instantiating the
    corresponding GtkBuilder) if there are no unseen hooks to show.

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * Remove calls to gnome-app-install and addon CD support (LP: #722887)
