On my Lenovo S10-3t, Xfwm's borders do not seem to respond to my touch screen. I cannot minimize windows, move them, close them, give them focus, etc. by trying to interact with the titlebar of a window using my touch screen. If I try to do the same thing with my touchpad however, then I have no issues. Window borders in twm seem to work just fine, and I can't find any configuration problem this could possibly be with Xorg, so I'm pretty sure that it's a bug with xfwm.
Hello Chandler, While running an Xorg session with Xfce, have a look inside the Xorg.0.log file. Also check the mouse/touchpad settings dialog (xfce4-mouse-settings), the input device might be deactivated. Regards, Mike PS : marking as Invalid since xfwm4 is not responsible for input devices, it's purpose is to draw window borders.

Are you sure about this? I have tested the window borders of twm and metacity, they work fine. I have not had responsiveness issues with anything other then the window borders of xfwm. Upon mentioning this to the Xorg mailing list I was told this was most likely a bug in Xfce. And I have checked, neither input devices are disabled. I am almost certain this is a bug in Xfce.
Oh, I forgot to mention, the actual programs running in Xfce work fine. I can switch focus to them using the Xfce panel and can interact with them in that way. However, the literal borders that xfwm exclusively do not respond to my touch screen.
I have myself some touchscreens, and obviously it works fine. What you report is really strance. It's likely to be caused by the way the touchscreen emits the button signals. Can you try to "double-click/tap" the window title bar with the touchscreen, to see if it does the default action like maximize? You can also try to use 'xev' to see what it reports when you tap the touchscreen (caution: xev is very verbose). Lastly, when running a session with twm or metacity, try to replace it with xfwm4 without leaving the Xorg session. For that run the command 'xfwm4 --replace'. Mike

I tried to attach a log with what xev outputs, however for some reason Bugzilla kept telling me that I had not specified a file to upload when I did. So I put it on my pastebin instead (I have no expiration date set for the paste, so it will stay there forever). This is the output that came from attaching xev directly to the actual window border (as opposed to the window itself, I hope this is right). http://pastebin.com/PqTu2a4R Also, replacing metacity with xfwm4 using '--replace' did not make any difference.
