For some strange reason (i.e. I don't have a tablet computer) Onboard, the on-screen keyboard, starts every time I log in. I've checked Startup Applications, but it's not listed there. What could be making it start like this, and how can I get it to stop?

Looks like this bug is back in precise (tried using update manager, didn't work) This is the only solution I found:
Open a terminal window and type the following commands:
It was a bug: launchpad
You can use Update Manager for fix
Let's try two things here. Open the Terminal application and type these commands:
The first command toggles whether the screen keyboard should be visible, just to make sure it is supposed to be turned off. That is the same as the option under System Settings / Universal Access.
The second command makes sure OnBoard does not show when you unlock the screen. This is the same as opening OnBoard Preferences and finding that checkbox. Sometimes that option gets enabled and it doesn't change back.
On login page of ubuntu, click human icon on the top bar then uncheck onscreen keyboard.
I opened onboard only one time, and ever since then it showed up when I was unlocking no matter what settings were set to.
I ended up uninstalling, I mean, I have never needed to, nor foresee a reason that I would ever need to use it.
So if you don't think you'll use it, I would recommend uninstalling. It's not really a fix, but you won't have to deal with it.
