touch event allowed through OSK to what is underneath

[kevin gunn]

on N4 ~ image#97

This use case is an example, i suspect this problem exist in all OSK scenarios
1. welcome wiz launch
2. work thru until password prompt, select password entry to activate OSK
3. through inputting my password that has numbers/letters & some capitalized letters I was able to hit the button under the OSK

this video best demonstrates the problem and why its an issue

I'd say this is welcome-wizard specific, it probably doesn't implement the InputArea for the OSK that deals with blocking this input.

[Gerry Boland (gerboland)]

Unity-mir has a component called "OSKController" which should manage the keyboard surface. It does these things:
1. listens for OSK surface being created, and when it is, listens for the surface state change signals (i.e. show/hide)
2. when surface shown, an InputArea is defined for that surface, which "covers" the visible part of the OSK - this tells Mir to let input events go to this surface (so you can type) - *as well as* go to the shell
3. when surface shown, a MouseArea is created in the shell, to accept all events that we received by the OSK, so shell doesn't try to use them.

Wizard needs to do the same

  * [time-date] Ask for properties over D-Bus even when the object is
    not considered valued (due to the service timing out), to cause it
    to be activated.
