After playing couple of battles in X-Com, it would seem like a good idea to add some sort of toggle to switch in a mode where touchpad presses aren't registered and you can just move your "mouse" freely without worrying about accidental clicks (as suggested by ArnimS). Already put some code together to get it working (holding down shift allows you to roam free), but this needs a bit more thought on where to bind it, and how it should actually work - only when key is pressed, or toggle or whatnow.

Any suggestions?
