Touchpad settings in Ubuntu 13.04 do not allow horizontal edge scrolling.

[Esokrates]

I am on Ubuntu 13.04 daily build. Vertical edge scrolling is enabled out of the box, but horizontal is not and there is no way to enable that through the control center. It would make sense to enable horizontal edge scrolling too by default or at least give an option to do so. I am aware of the following bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1084737

which is basically the same for two finger scrolling.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I guess it's the same issue than https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687509 ?

There is a way to enable horizontal scrolling which I’ve found accidentally! :D

Open dconf Editor
Go to org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad
check horiz-scroll-enabled

There is also an option for edge scrolling: write "edge-scrolling" (without quotes) for scroll-method. It shoud be the default.
