According to the manufacturers, you can use isopropyl alcohol mixed with
water.

Benzene, ethyl, and methyl alcohols will damage the plastic.

The isopropyl works OK, but some really bad stuff is hard to get off.

The general rule is to avoid getting them dirty whenever possible.

iClear and the Kensington cleaner, from what I've read about them, are
basically isopropyl alcohol and water.  I don't know what else they
might have in them.

I wonder if we can expect more glass as flat-panels take over the
market?

I would just much prefer it.
