Bug Description

On a laptop with touchscreen, from a terminal window:

    $ mir_demo_server --test-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle

Expect:

1. two finger drag resizes
2. three finger drag moves

Observed:

1. two finger drag has no effect
2. three finger drag has no effect

By comparison, running Mir-on-kms works as expected:

    $ sudo mir_demo_server --vt 1 --test-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle

Touch events in X11 are an afterthought/extension to Xorg somewhere. The traditional X client API doesn't really cover them so clients like Mir-on-X11 won't support touch by default either. This bug is expected.

Could be fixed if I had a touch capable machine
