OK, you convinced me that this might all be a matter of circumstances
and personal preferences. But if others want a touch-only environment
I want be negatively affected by that. So there should be found a
solution - even if a different one that is useful for both.

Proposal: Keeping the finger for a longer time (e.g. 2 seconds) on the
icon then bring up the status information (= emulation of the hovering
with the mouse - also for hovering a delay is applied before
displaying the information).

The more I think of the touch interfaces the more unhandy I find it -
sorry. My finger is soo big - clicking on a menu half the item is
covered by my finger.
