Description Sebastien Bacher 2012-04-03 14:48:24 UTC 
The issue was reported on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/965311

Using gtk 3.4 and xinput 2.2

an "appletouch" trackpad is detected as a GDK_SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN by gtk leading to weird behaviour

that's due to 

"create_device (GdkDeviceManager *device_manager,
...
      else if (strstr (tmp_name, "finger") ||
               (strstr (tmp_name, "touch") &&
                !strstr (tmp_name, "touchpad")))
        input_source = GDK_SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN;
..."

I've removed those heuristics now - only devices with touch classes will be considered touchscreens now.
