To elaborate... what you see on a "traditional" stylus-based Wacom
tablet is probably what Qemu is implementing. That means:

* Stylus is near (within a few centimetres) but not touching the screen:
Mouse cursor visible and follows the pen (but ideally shows something
different to an arrow, like a pencil cursor).

* Stylus touches the screen: That's a touch or primary button-down
event, and button up event for release.

* Stylus moves away from the screen: No cursor is visible.

I think that's what Qemu is trying to emulate and it's probably a good
model for our controlling a virtual touch screen with a mouse too. So we
should fix libinput and/or Mir to work in this environment. Obviously it
did until recently.
