I thought that the multi-touch is the same thing as multi-pointer... or one 
can emulate the other (multi-pointer seen as multi-touch)

As far as I can see... running two distinct applications, one for each screen, 
seems to solve this issue for me. One pointer (mouse/touchscreen) interacts 
with a single application and this works.

This is an acceptable compromise for me.

If time permits I'll give them a try and post here the results. 

But... for the time being I have a working solution.

Thank you all for support.
