myth mouse support for touchscreens would be nice though, if only for the menu 
structure. mouse gestures could be used for non-button actions.

throwing the thought out there as I plan on building a myth frontend for my 
mom to use in the kitchen (the folks are remodeling) and having a touchscreen 
for that envorinment would be great (along with a remote control of course 
for the regular actions).
