I'm not sure. In principle it's possible by hacking mutter/gnome-shell
to not select for touch events (on older X servers?). And/or by having
apps ignore BadImplementation (or also avoid selecting on TouchBegin).
Both would be relatively ugly though.
The problem with this one is though that it can be triggered by random
combinations of applications, so not just gnome/shell & gnome apps.
