Bug Description

I have a bluetooth multitouch trackpad (Apple magic trackpad). It works with Unity only if it is connected to the computer before unity starts. If I turn it off and on again, I've to manually restart unity in order to make it recognize the multitouch gestures.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Turn off the trackpad.
2) Start Unity / login
3) Confirm that multitouch gestures such as 3 finger pinch (maximize) or 4 finger tap (invoke dash) don't work
4) Now restart unity using 'unity --replace'
5) Untiy should recognize the gestures now.

I don't have the device with me at this moment. It'll be available only after 30-40 days. I will update the report as soon as I get my hands on it
