Hi Ricardo,

These are great questions. You are correct in your analysis that the Pi 
implementation uses a different code path for touch than desktop Linux. 
Although what you are trying to do is not a supported configuration of JavaFX, 
the good news is that it should work and we can help you get it built.

I recommend using the Monocle implementation of Glass instead of Lens. Here are 
the flags to do that and select the X11 implementation:

-Djavafx.platform=monocle -Dmonocle.platform=X11 -Dembedded=monocle

If you run into input problems, the following flags should help you debug them:

-Dmonocle.input.traceEvents=true -Dmonocle.input.traceEvents.verbose=true

Please let me know how you get on with this.

Thanks,
Daniel
