I don't know if it works but that's what's written in the manpage.
If it works, add that command to the orientation script.
Guess what, it works

I would say "ready for prime time", but I've noticed strange, worrying issue. Many times (most), after tapping the screen, LXDE register it as "still clicked", despite fact, that stylus isn't touching screen anymore. Thus, it enables "right-click" when not asked for (cause long-press works like that).

It's not very easy to notice it at beginning, but there is easy way of testing it - open xvkbd, terminal, and try to write something, by taping on virtual keyboard. Tap any letter, then, without touching screen any more, wait for a while. In my case, letter auto-repeat, just because cursor is still "over" letter on vkb.

Sulu, could You check, if it also happens in Your case? Any way, ideas what may be causing this, anyone?

Of course, I've tried restarting LXDE, closing ED image etc, to no avail. I don't remember facing this issue before - it *might* have appeared, after installing patched server xephyr. Yet, don't quote me on it, as it's quite hard to notice. Most of the times, you think that long-press menu appeared by accident, and while I was irritated by it few times today, I acknowledged bug only, when, accidentally, deleted top panel and canceled "this dialog is needed to gain keyboard focus in LXDE", so I was forced to use terminal and xvkbd to properly shutdown LXDE. Writing on virtual keyboard clearly indicated bug, by auto-repeating letters (they auto-repeat on moderate speed, when letter is keep pressed), that's why I suggested checking it this way.

On 2 devices that I've tested, it works flawlessly - 100% of times - by tapping every edge of the screen. 4 panels are 100% possible - it's just me, who use 2 panels and still have much free space on them - my invention on filling it with content seems small
