Exactly.  The touchscreen looks just like a mouse, so any program should
work with it, including the Gtk+ hello program from the tutorial:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/ch-gettingstarted.html#SEC-HELLOWORLD

The only "special" thing you will have to do is to come up with a "big
buttons" theme to make it usable, and even doing that doesn't require
custom Gtk+ code.
