I was looking at doing something like this, although I don't have touch 
screen, but just a desktop with LCARS look alike (the buttons, windows frame, 
etc). FVWM might be customizable enough to do it but it may take a whole lot 
of configuration / programming to do, so I dropped it (since I didn't have 
much spare time ). I'll be interested to hear what you come up with.

There's also a KDE Theme: http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/lcarsaccess441/
but the buttons are just wallpaper so it can't do anything. I don't like it.
