Bug Description
Libertine translate touchscreen's inputs in mouse inputs before give them to an Xapp. This isn't good. Some X apps have already touch integration, but this make harder to use X apps whit a touchscreen. I appreciate your work, and I know that if you have programmed libertine in that way there is a why, this is only a suggestion/

Libertine does not manipulate or control input events. This transformation might be happening within Xmir or Unity8. Most of these "legacy" X apps don't have touch integration since they were designed for mouse and keyboard, so I don't believe it would be a good idea to never translate touch events anyhow.
Is there some app in particular that's giving you trouble? If it's a Qt app, it should be possible to repackage it for native use on Unity 8. If it's a GTK app, that functionality should also be coming in the next few months.
As always, thanks for your feedback. I'm going to mark this as Invalid for now since we are not in control.
