Fair enough, touchscreen support in most application is pretty horrible.
Although, for me personally, the emulation the wacom driver does make
the interaction so unnatural that i didn't end up using it in practise.
Personally i prefer good interaction in the few applications where it
does work well over bad interaction in all of them..
Let's see if things improve and we can indeed come back to this at some
point :)
