Doesn't look like a toy to me.

What does it need root for?

Is it Linux-specific?  Also, does it work in a pure environment (./pre-
inst-env guix shell --pure touchegg -- touchegg)?

> use libinput to communicate with +hardware.")

The exact library used seems like an implementation detail to me.

Greetings,
Maxime.

touchegg --daemon requires to detect touchpad device.

fixed synopsis.

don't work in a pure environment, see error:

That's the daemon, which apparently requires root whereas you're
running it as non-root (see Error opening device.  Try

(not sure if the -E is 
$ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure touchegg -- sudo -E touchegg --daemon

and

$ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure touchegg -- touchegg

instead.

Greetings,
Maxime.

With this, touchegg works in a pure environment!.

Attached the updated version of the package, I did tests executing Touchegg as a service (which I will send in another mail, WIP).
