That's what I get for commenting before actually testing the code. You're right, there's no reason to assume (like I did) that dependent touch forces the device to be relative. I guess I'm just having a really hard time wrapping my head around this dependent touch thing. It doesn't really seem powerful enough to do all the gesture processing outside the driver.

I've noticed some issues too [1] (once I turned off easystroke...), but given that using the touch screen can make other devices misbehave, I mostly blame the X server (still, I have no idea why gtk3 applications do such weird things, the pointer events that they receive seem legit).
