This whole argument, I feel, is fruitless. That's just my opinion, of course.
The touchpad isn't readily accessible in handheld mode, and was never
made to be. I'll continue to suggest that the cursor simply be
automatically hidden in handheld mode, and that a simple means for
taking full advantage of the handheld buttons which are present be
made available to activities in a standardized way.
A suggestion for how this standardized system might work is laid out
rather clearly at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Browse#Handheld_Mode. I'd
very much like to see an API for the press and press-and-hold states
of these buttons so that activities could take advantage of it easily.
