Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

OpenSUSE has several features added to KDE that support Tablet PCs.  Two
of these features are the following:

1) Add support to krandrtray that rotates wacom pointers when the
display is rotated.  Otherwise, separate use of the xsetwacom command is
required (which isn't possible to do with just a stylus).

2) Add support to lockprocess so that a virtual keyboard (xvkbd) is
shown when trying to unlock the desktop.  This allows the use of a
stylus to input the password when the display is locked.

Both features can be enabled in kdebase with two patches that I will
attach below.  These patches were downloaded from
https://beta.suse.com/private/dkukawka.  The second patch (to show
xvkbd) also requires a patch to hal that is requested in Bug #90451.
I've verified that both patches apply and build cleanly with
kdebase_3.5.6-0ubuntu13.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
