Bug description:
[ Impact ]
On-screen keyboard (OSK) on touchscreen does not seem to work at all
under Xorg.
[ Test Plan ]
0. Find a machine with a touchscreen.
1. At the login screen, select 'Ubuntu on Xorg'.
2. Enable Settings > Accessibility > Typing > Screen Keyboard
3. Open a Terminal and tap on it, or do whatever you need to do to make the
OSK appear.
4. Start typing on the OSK.
Expect: The characters typed on the OSK appear in the Terminal window.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Touchscreen behaviour in Xorg sessions is the main area of risk
because that's the only functionality being changed here. There's
always a chance that touch behaviour elsewhere in the shell may
regress, such as in app windows or being able to drag windows by
touch.
