Xfwm4 + Touchscreen - Window bars can't be "touched".

Hello everyone, i'm a proud Xfce user, first in my home box for a few years and now in my Asus eee T91MT little netbook. First post here, i think.

Anyway, i'm using Xubuntu 12.04.1 on said machine (although this behaviour also happened when i tried the 12.10 alpha version), which has a multitouch touchscreen. The "Mouse and Touchpad" settings page counts it as "Asustek, Inc. Multitouch".

I simply can't do anything to the window borders (drag, double click on them, clicking the buttons, etc.) through the touchscreen. It otherwise works perfectly: i'm using it to draw, click inside those same windows; even the multitouch gestures (using ginn) are available.

I've found the same issue at the Xfce mailing list. It seems the problem lies in how Xfwm4 understands touchscreen events, but i'm not so savvy programming-wise to understand the code for Xfwm4 and see what's really going on.

¿Any ideas?
Thanks!

PS: Should i file a bug report?

Maybe, if there isn't one already. I think it's the proper way to keep track of the issue.
