Yea, he thought about covering proximity sensor as a "triggeR" for gestures recognition, then, uncovering it would bring back old'n'goodie point and click mode.

There already is 100% working daemon for recognizing proximity sensor state (not using much resources, in fact, almost none at all), so this part of idea may be considered done. It's "only" matter of incorporating feature.


BTW, as it was mentioned in some huge thread long time ago, it *is* possible to create multitouch ffor resistive screens. When you touch resistive screen in 2 place, actual "sensed" place is exactly in center between them (so, if You touch left and right part of the screen, device will sense 1 touch on center). Using some complicated algorithm, it's possible to recognize when there are many touch points at once, or it was just quick change of touching place. Someone (maybe qole, but I don't know for sure) ever mentioned devices, that incorporate that.

If something like *this* could be done, that would be real overkill.
