Thanks.  Here's some source code for that as well:
http://groups.google.com/group/fbreader/msg/86fceebf61e5e358

It's from FBReader.  That method distinguishes stylus taps from thumb
presses in all Maemo versions that do i tin three different ways.

There is one bit of guesswork there.  What's the pressure value
threshold used to detect thumb presses in the system by such controls as
the thumb-aware menus?
