Well, what happened is that gnome installed gdm which is a display manager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_display_manager) , not a X server. That display manager runs /usr/bin/X without parameters which means that it won't be having touchscreen things added to the command parameter

I'd personally just ssh into the tablet and apt-get remove gdm, or configure it to act like /etc/init.d/x-session and provide the right parameters
