Touchscreen KCM

SUMMARY
Touchscreen Gestures KCM should display "No touchscreens found" if there are no touchscreens connected like how Touchscreen KCM does.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disconnect all touchscreen devices if you have any
2. Open System Settings
3. Go to Touchscreen - Touchscreen -> No touchscreens found message is displayed
4. Open Touchscreen Gestures -> User is able to set gestures

OBSERVED RESULT
User is able to set touchscreen gestures when no touchscreen devices are connected

EXPECTED RESULT
User is NOT able to set touchscreen gestures when no touchscreen devices are connected

Yep!
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2026-01-13 18:45:27 UTC 
Instead we should hide it when there are no touchscreens, like we already do for the Touchscreen KCM.
