| yeah. right now on app crash the veto stays. i need to track the dbus
client and
| see if it loses its dbus connection. right now though anyone can
remove a block
| even if you are not the owner. it's meant to be simple so u can do
this from

| anything. i know it has pitfalls, but for now am willing to live with
them.

Well OK, I will direct people who don't like this "userspace shakiness"
that results to Werner and yourself for "re-education".

| btw - how do you turn off touchscreen interrupts from userspace? i
really want
| to actually! :) i just want to disable the touchscreen (and re-enable
it later
| when needed).

Why do you want to kill the interrupts?  They only fire if stylus down
anyway.  Just ignore /dev/input/event1 or tslib or whatever it is by
then.  I think it's really cheap on power to run if no stylus down (and
there are no interrupts happening then), it supplies via a large series
resistor when idle and waiting for stylus down.  There's no ts api type
thing to do it that I saw.
