that actually isn't set. by default it checks a config value (and the env var 
wins over the config value if set)

would be better to only use that?

but yes, we need a single way to tell everything to behave like on touch.
(thing that would be automagically solved if/when bangarang starts to use 
qtcomponents, hint, hint ;)
