Bug Description
When the emulator starts it presents the login screen for the phablet user, presumably because it detects a mouse.
I expect it to emulate the phone and provide the passcode screen as approproate
(see also bug #1531268)

This is related to bug #1517597, as long as the emulator exposes a mouse, we treat it as one, and by default switch to windowed mode. If it exposed a touch device, we would not switch.
We're still working out what would be triggers for switching to windowed mode, maybe screen size needs to be factored in, not only input devices. Whatever we do automagically, we need to expose this to the user as a setting somehow, and remember the user's preference in a certain input/output situation.
