Maybe add screen keyboard for touch devices

[bluepuma77]

Today I tried to connect to the desktop with my tablet and was suddenly stuck - there is no keyboard with VNC. I researched a little and you can easily add a screen keyboard via sudo apt-get install matchbox. It would be nice to include it in the image, preferences could be adapted to make it even easier (larger size, always-on-top).

For the impatient: you can add it to your running docker container via

sudo docker exec -it <container-id> bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install matchbox

I cannot get the touchscreen keyboard to work on android devices. Any suggestions?

I see that the latest noVNC has support for touch screen keyboards (have not tested it though). May be upgrading to the latest noVNC can help. @fcwu - Your inputs please.
