Nice comments, people.
Just one more question about the topic.
I'm thinking about a workaround meanwhile there's a solution for the
problems I listed.
Is there an X config option or so to disable left clic on the touch screen?
that way I could move the cursor without touching buttons and moving windows
when I don't want to, and do clic on the A/B button when I need left/right
clic.
Thanks again in advance.

That's true, but you see, phones and tablets aren't really meant for
creating text-based content. They're really meant for consuming content. So
it's quite appropriate to have a different UI designed for those
environments. Just like the Palm OS UI was designed and optimized for use
with a stylus, and GoCorp's old Penpoint OS was designed from the ground up
for use with a stylus.
I've never liked the GNOME desktop and particularly its apparent philosophy
of restricting user customizability and functionality. I've firmly convinced
that the first thing the GNOME design team asks itself at every session is,
"What can we take away from users next?" Jokingly, I expect the GNOME
desktop to eventually consist of a single button labeled "Shutdown" ...
Ever seen Ubuntu's Unity interface on a netbook? It's an interesting
compromise between the needs of a small screen and the use of a keyboard &
integrated pointing device.

But Linux offers choices - XFCE and others are there for those of us who
prefer that way of working.
And it looks to me like GNOME is trying to cater for the touch-screen side
of things ... a phone or small tablet certainly needs an interface that can
be used efficiently without a keyboard, on a small screen and with a finger
as the only pointer. That would take a lot of customising, and a lot of work
by the user, in XFCE or any other keyboard-oriented desktop environment.
My existing musicbox (running an older versin of
ArtistX) uses LXDE. My
server
(running Aptosid) uses XFCE. My personal laptop is still running KDE3.
I've
noticed that a number of KDE4 and GNOME3 have become quite hefty, and
music
distros seem to be dropping them.
Maybe, hum, Linux is a reflect of the society we are living in : more and
more
for the eye candy, less to peoples' needs ?
