I don't know if this is directly related, but after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 and XBMC 13 (Gotham) beta on a touchscreen computer (Asus EeeTop, IDC 6681 touchscreen), XBMC went all crazy. It behaved as if someone was holding down an arrow key, with focus jumping between elements and the associated sound effect repeating. The only way to stop it was to kill xbmc.bin.

I found out that it only happened when joystick/gamepad support was enabled, so I guess XBMC thought the touchscreen was a joystick. As the GUI was inaccessible, I had to edit the following line in ~/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml.
Default:
<enablejoystick default="true">true</enablejoystick>
New:
<enablejoystick default="true">false</enablejoystick>

This other touchscreen issue still remains.
