--- Comment #9 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
I don't think a frame event is needed here. The history of that is a bit blurry
anyway, AIUI the frame stems largely from the MT protocol A in Qt, but with the
protocol B the frame event is to some extent superfluous (still useful, but
just not as needed). This interface is aimed primarily at single-finger
interactions, so i think a frame event is unnecessary here though it could be
added later.

Renaming to libinput_event_touchpad sounds good, I'll do that in the next
revision.

That's what the sentence just above should've clarified, unless the device is
in a neutral state the mode won't activate yet. so any current ongoing gestures
have to end before the mode is activated. I'll try to add/reword this
