This is why I like the approach taken by the "Touchy" interface which
basically requires a jogwheel and a physical "start" button.
You can still begin the homing sequence from the touch screen, and I
think I would prefer that to bring up a "press start to home" dialog,
but other than that you need to move something physical to get machine
movement.
This is something I am considering on my side.
Even I never had broken something with touchscreen, I am not fully
comfortable with the fact a motion can start with only a very small
touch. Using a physical button requiring few Newtons force is safer.
So, that means you will need first to touch the proper widget on the
screen, and then confirm by pressing the physical exec button.
That will leave also some more time for the brain to double check the
selected command is the good one!
