Touchscreen's on a developer workstation? That sounds more like a tablet or media consumption all-in-one device. Also the Wayland is still in alpha on Gnome 3 Shell and nowhere near ready. You're talking about future events that haven't happened or things that aren't relevant to desktop workstations.
It does seem like laptops with touchscreens are becoming more and more common. When I counted for fun at a local computer store here in town it was 1 in every 3, and according to Wikipedia it's one of the requirements of the Ultrabook v3 (Shark Bay) specification [1]. Even the Lenovo ThinkPad that is more popular among programmers comes with one in the new T440s model [2]. A lot of these new machines also comes with hi-dpi screens, so that is certainly something that needs to work out of the box using free software.
I hope the above data helps. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrabooks#Specifications 2. http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-t440s.aspx - Andreas -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
