It is not the wrong place, it is technically impossible to do it in KWin.
Generating context menu events must be in the applications. Only those can know what \
makes sense and know whether the touch event is handled or not.

In general I oppose the idea. I think we need to rethink and not emulating a decades \
old pattern, just because we don't have a better idea. Especially in Plasma I would \
not like to see this. We can do better.
