Hi Daniel, > are you using linux on the yoga?
Yes, linux (Fedora 20) 99% of the time... the rest of the time is whenever I'm trying to test/debug xournal in windows :) >> I'm also now addicted to "Pen disables touch".

In Linux (at least with Fedora 20 on the Yoga) it does not (the touchscreen is not handled by the wacom driver -- it's an evdev device). Arguably it should -- I am not sure how the pen+touch feature is supposed to be used in Linux, but currently it is not usable. The standard suggestion found in online forums is to either disable manually the touchscreen at the start of a xournal session, or run a background script that tests for pen proximity every N seconds and enables/disables the touchscreen. The option I've added to xournal at least disables touchscreen input inside xournal (not by disabling the device, which I think is not something we want to do from within a GTK application without knowing exactly what kind of system we're running on, but by ignoring events received from it; so touching outside of the xournal window can still lead to junk, but resting one's hand in the drawing area at least isn't harmful anymore).
