I'm trying to get McCLIM working with a purely gadget based UI more
nicely right now; CLIM has nice support for adding your own gestures
and input methods so it may be worth checking out if you haven't
already.

See http://www.mikemac.com/mikemac/clim/extended-input.html#22.3 and
22.4 for gestures and the pointer tracking protocol (which would be
used to map between finger gestures and CLIM gestures), and
http://www.mikemac.com/mikemac/clim/silica.html#8.2 for the
documentation on events.

The nice part is that it would not be impossible to automagically make
non-touchscreen-oriented applications work better on a touchscreen
using a custom frame manager and some manipulation of their command
tables.
