I would like to drop this one into consideration:

[PATCH xwayland 0/4] Implement wl_touch
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2014-October/044373.html

It didn't catch much attention, probably sent too close around XDC. I
realize it has some remaining FIXMEs, but these shouldn't be
controversial to most clients, and might need some further info from
the wayland side anyway.

Cheers,
  Carlos
