Come to think of it, wouldn't it make sense to expose the other touch
devices as generic frame grabbers, too, so you can easily view the debug
output with any generic tool like cheese?
While I like the idea of being able to use the generic tools, I think we
needed to do something to stop these devices turning up in e.g. video
conferencing software - it would cause a lot of confusion. There's nothing
stopping particular tools adding the necessary code to handle touch devices
if they feel their users want it.
