Bug Description

Attached please find my captured picture. Swiping on the emulator is not so easy. On a real device, we can easily swipe from the left-most to the right to bring up the launcher. However, on the emulator, we have to swipe very carefully from the border of the screen. It would be good to detect the swipe from the edge of the picture.

A little big wider edge will be good for swiping on the emulator.

Not in the scope of the qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu, this needs to be fixed in the emulator

I think ideally we'd like to be able to start the gesture from the "bezel" of the emulator, not sure how possible that would be, though.

Problem is that the "bezel" is a different component. The screen is
part of Qemu, and the bezel is just a skin provided by the native tool
that starts Qemu.

We could increase the screen size, and have a smaller render area, but
that will also confuse people. We could remove the skin completely,
not sure if that would help, but might make it more clear that the
window is only what is available from Qemu.
