Bug Description

When running eog or evince with three multitouch devices, geis crashes. The geis xcb backend token structure is overrun by device ids and this causes memory corruption. There are two problems here:

1. The devices array should never overrun under any circumstances
2. The devices array is being populated with duplicate device entries
