ok, but the events work, right? If you tap a button it does something? To me 
it makes sense that the cursor doesn't move as the cursor belongs to the 
pointer device and not to the touch device.

I assume that the touch events on X11 are passed to Weston as pointer events 
which makes it just a pointer and thus the cursor gets updated.
