Bug#730103: gnome-shell: panel doesn't accept touchscreen input

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5
Severity: important

After upgrading to gnome-shell 3.8, the top panel no longer accepts touchscreen
input. I.e. trying to tap or hold-press "Applications", or the calendar, the
systray, or the user menu doesn't work. Whatever I'm poking at does get the
"mouseover" highlight, but does not react in any other way.

(Fortunately, my laptop also has a touchpad. The touchpad sucks royally, but
now it seems to be my only way of accessing the panel, at least without
connecting an external mouse.)

Everything else seems to work with the touchscreen (including the
"Applications" view - everything works there, once I've opened this view in
some non-touchscreen way), just not that panel, but it's a pretty important
panel. For me, this is a rather annoying regression in gnome 3.8 (next to some
pretty severe suspend regressions, but possibly others already reported those).
