Depends on how much "automatic" you want/require. I prefer "not automatic" to 
an automatic that fails.

I've set up a nice "Tablet/notebook"  (Toshiba Z20T) with Debian and TDE.

I use "Smooth Blend" as windows decoration with a 46 pixels button size. The 
icons are not the prettiest (I'd prefer "laptop" but they don't scale) but it 
works.

I use "onboard" as virtual keyboard with a button in the panel to start it 
when needed. Onboard does not appear automagically but then it does not 
either clutter my screen when it wrongly "thinks" I need it as I've 
experiences with other virtual keyboards.

Linux does not seem to have palm rejection, so I wrote a small tcl/tk app that 
let's me stop touch when I write (note that this requires an *active* pen, 
which anyway is the only thing that really lets you write correctly).

Desktop icons are at 48, toolbar icons at 22.

With these settings I use TDE on a touchscreen, and the Z20t let's you 
separate the screen from the keyboard and use it as a tablet ( *AND* the 
keyboard has my favorite track point :))

So, while there is certainly room for improvement, I'd say that TDE *is* 
usable with a touchscreen if you are ready for some compromises.
