For example, in 2.10, Maemo people contributed gtk-touchscreen-mode setting which makes pointing device handling behavior more adapted for touchscreens. I'd like enable it now, apparently by starting to ship /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc having that option, in gtk+ package. If someone has immediate better idea where it should be set/shipped from the start, please speak. Otherwise, we'll need to elaborate stylus vs mouse handling anyway later. If you want specific example of broken behavior, it's menus/dropdowns with many choices, not fitting the box - when you tap arrow to scroll it, it starts to scroll continuously and fast in your face, disallowing to do needed selection realistically. gtk-touchscreen-mode = 1 fixes that (tap causes one-line scroll). One place this can be reproduced is openmoko-appmanager (sic), with SECTION dropdown. (I wonder if OM has gtk-touchscreen-mode set somewhere btw). -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
