Bug Description

Description:
-------------
Suggest remove "Apply Calibration" window if user touch wrong four points on calibration window.

Reproduced steps:
-------------
1. Launch touchscreen applet from settings.
2. After showing the calibration window, touch four points ramdomly instead of touching blinking four points.

Current result:
-------------
In step2, after touch four points, it prompt a dialog "Calibration Completed" dialog to ask if restart.
I suggest if user don't touch correct blinking points, don't prompt the dialog. Or else, if user select "Yes", touch screen is inaccurate and very hard to use.

Expected result:
-------------

Actually how about this. What if I create a little app called moblin-touchtimeout which pops up a dialog asking if the user wants to keep the touchscreen calibration settings or revert back to the old. Then, when the user touches the four points, the applet will add this program to the autostart folder for the desktop and reboot the GUI. Then when the GUI comes up with the new calibration settings in place, if the user messed up they won't be able to press the "Accept" button, it will timeout, revert, and restart the GUI again with the old settings.

It's a longer path than we would get in Hardy but it's the same basic behavior. What do you think?

Todd, currently, there is a dialog "Apply Calibration" to ask user if restart GUI or discard changes.
I agree with you if user messed up, they won't be able to press the "Yes" button on the "Apply Calibration" dialog. And it's better do not show the "Apply Calibration" dialog.

Actually how about this. What if I create a little app called moblin-
touchtimeout which pops up a dialog asking if the user wants to keep the
touchscreen calibration settings or revert back to the old. Then, when
the user touches the four points, the applet will add this program to
the autostart folder for the desktop and reboot the GUI. Then when the
GUI comes up with the new calibration settings in place, if the user
messed up they won't be able to press the "Accept" button, it will
timeout, revert, and restart the GUI again with the old settings.

It's a longer path than we would get in Hardy but it's the same basic
behavior. What do you think?
