Ah, I see. I think the problem is that the text editing widget is still 
not compatible with XInput (the mouse actions to select text inside the 
box and drag it around don't all work properly); presumably it never 
will be, since GTK+ 2.x isn't evolving much anymore. So we need to 
disable XInput when we are in the process of editing text and the cursor 
goes into the text box area. Disabling XInput causes all devices to 
report themselves as the Core Pointer -- and then the touch-as-handtool 
option probably kicks in. I am a bit confused about why it kicks in 
already when you try to add your first text box, I would have imagined 
that it would hit you only the second time around, but anyway -- the 
truth is that I don't know a good way around this. Once you are editing 
your first text box, there is just no way of knowing whether the next 
button event comes from pen or from touch (because XInput is temporarily 
disabled)...

I'll keep it in mind as something to try to fix someday, but right now I 
probably won't postpone the release just because of this issue.
