I tested again on Saucy, after having Raring running for some time and afater updating Saucy to the newest state (still with X staging PPA) and now touch operation seems to be stable. I did a lot of touch movements, both clicks and drags and the touch screen keeps working. A little hint to make touch operation of the Ubuntu desktop easier is to turn off the overlay scrollbars. The classic scrollbars are much easier to operate via finger-based touch screen. Command to turn off overlay scrollbars gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal and to get overlay scrollbars back gsettings reset com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode These changes get active immediately, even on already running applications. The settings are also persistent (I tested by logging out and in again).
