A practically prooved example of a capacitive sensor matrix keypad, with
all design files and extensive description of the operation, you can
find at http://diycalculator.pcl.at
Unfortunately, the project described there is not done in gEDA/gaf nor
with the IC you want to use but it nicely covers all the sensor stuff.
Have fun!

For plain circles, smt pads are easier and better.
If you wanted to do a resistive touch sensor with a circle with a ring
around it, you'd do the circle as a pad and a smaller circle (radius
== ring width) beside it. Then, when you lay out the board, add an
arc centered on the big pad, intersecting the small pad. Adjust the
angles with a text editor to come close to but not touch any traces
leading away from the center pad (or connect the center pad with a
via, and make the arc full circle. Make the solder mask for the
center pad big enough to expose the ring too.
