Hello,
Not sure, but the automatic onscreen keyboard
and virtuazl use should work correctly with an appropriate package like this :
"xserver-xorg-input-evtouch"
or a similar package... that I don't find until now,
and depends of its Linux distribution.
If you have an idea... thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for your answers.
"kvkbd-trinity" works if I launch it (icon),
(the keyboard is not very "practical" and not easy to use...)
I'm afraid it's the best I found yet on Linux. It may depend on the version
you use (I've tried the one for Ubuntu 14.04)
With Windows-8, the onscreen-keyboard starts
automatically
when we need it.
Yep, I guess W8 was conceived for touchscreens - which probably explains
why people seem not to like it on not-touch screens...
Maybe too with the Desktop KDE4 or Gnome... ? (I
will try asap),
and also testing the zoom with three fingers.
I don't know how powerful is your machine, but on mine Gnome 3 is just
useless: slow and tiny scren fonts and touch surfaces.
It does provide an on-screen keyboard, but just as with Unity the way it
appears and disappears is a mystery to me.
What's more, the Unity and Gnome devs (I don't know for KDE 4) have found
intelligent to set the entry point for their windows in some "search" field
(apparently the "modern" way to look for applications). The result is that
the keyboard pops up, although you'd actually like to sweep with your
fingers...
I've seen someting about a tool called "Touchegg". Seems to rely on QT4
but
be relatively UI-independant. Multi-fingers gestures seem possible. I'll
take a look.
Very difficult to have the perfection... :-)
This is a very profound philosophical truth :))

I haven't yet had time to watch but here a Peter Larsen seems to have take
a large tour of Linux's touchscreen possibilities:
