Xfwm window borders do not respond to touch screen

[Rene Dohmen]

Fnx for the quick reply.

I used cairo dock for a dock. And just needed windows close functionality
for a nice touch machine that is mostly used for browsing the web (some
touch plugins in Chrome)
I switched to gala as window manager:
and that works really great with touch and mouse.

Kind Regards,

Rene
