use long-press signal to invoke Palette

[erikos]

should be the same as right click

[erikos]

first implementation, missing the differntiation between the click and the long press

[erikos]

Touch: on long-press on a link or image show the Palette

[erikos]

The above patch does implement the desired behaviour, a detailed description is in the commit message.

When playing with it on the XO (os5) I see the following issues:

• text selection gets sometimes in the way

• it can be that there are no long-press events any more after a while, only normal tap/clicks do work

• I have seen the case where a short tap would trigger a right click action and display the Palette

Nice to have:

• better feedback on the link when you do a long press, have a grey border or similar

Is the long press realtime feedback working with this patch (circle clockwise timer)? If so is this something I can now theme, it needs to be larger so not to be hidden behind the finger, and better contrast and Sugar theme. I was considering a larger circle shrinking down to the current circle size, same black/white style as the touch handles.
