Comment 60 for bug 1099289

I'm also on the Acer W700 here (with Ubuntu 13.10). I'm getting all kinds of similar symptoms. Gnome and Unity have problems with touching the menu immediately upon logging in. I have to open the launcher view in both of these environments in order to interact with the menu via touch. Then, after a while, I cannot touch to click anything!

After a little bit of interaction with XFCE, touch clicking also stops working.

For whatever reason, the most reliable environment seems to be E17. I can use multiple applications for an extended period without losing touch-click functionality.
