Describe the bug
GNOME is capable of handling multiple monitors, each with their own touch surface. When PaperWM is active, touch screen events are discarded for all apps on displays other than the currently focused one, and I need to move the mouse to the other display to use the touch screen on it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Connect two touch capable displays
  2. Open windows on both displays with PaperWM active
  3. Move the mouse to one display
  4. Try to touch the other display
  5. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
The other window reacts properly to touch events

System information:

Distribution: Arch Linux
GNOME Shell 45.0
Display server: Wayland
PaperWM branch/tag: develop

Additional context
Native GNOME without PaperWM lets touch events through to unfocused monitors.
