Comment 21 for bug 1562734

I've added a patch to the upstream bug report of bug #1572331 that seems to solve the scaling issue. Waiting for feedback.

I then tested delaying Onboard's launch in unity-greeter:
https://code.launchpad.net/~marmuta/unity-greeter/delay-keyboard-until-settings-daemon-done

That indeed works. With both of these changes Onboard is fully visible and can be used. No further workarounds in Onboard itself necessary.

IMO it's up to unity-greeter now. What I believe is needed is a better fix that makes sure u-s-d is done initializing before the greeter UI and keyboard are created. That would not only help the keyboard but also prevent flashing the login screen in scale 1, then a second later in scale 2.
