Thanks everyone for the great responses...
So it sounds like there are a couple of ways to make this work, on a few
different netbook platforms, however...
There is an issue with the active zone for the Moblin toolbar which
would introduce application side effects with a purely "push toolbar
button" interface..
As surmised, my application is "keyboard-less" and I really don't want
to use gestures in this UI as I am trying to keep the UI as simple as
possible for the user.
So, do I assume correctly that this is on the list of "things to
resolve" for Intel? As MIDs and IVI are to be targeted by Moblin.
It sounds like I would be better off implementing this demo version in
Windows {*gasp*} as I really want to get this demo version done as
quickly as possible (think: "days", not "weeks"), and then look for the
Moblin touch solution(s) from Intel for the real fully functional
product or take the time to implement our own touch solution.
I would ask for a timeline from the Intel folks, but I know better
{grin}!!
So instead I think I will ask if implementing touch is even on the radar
or if this is going to be left to each implementor to resolve??
Thanks.

If you are using nettop, you could try the function key in the

activate taskbar), it seemed able to popup the drop down menu at the

That's suboptimal because we can't assume the existence of a keyboard.
Consider netbooks that can be used in 'tablet mode' where you only
have a touchscreen (screen opens and folds over keyboard). We have
one of these in house so we have to consider usability in that
configuration as well.
cheers,
