Bug Description
On a laptop track pad, it's really easy to accidentally use the "scrolling goes through windows" feature of the new g-p. I believe this would warrant disabling the functionality (maybe only if a trackpad is detected? is this doable?) or at least offering an option to do so.
As a workaround, you can install packages from the following PPA that were compiled with the “scrolling on task list” feature disabled.

Thanks for your bug report. I don't quite understand - do you mean the trackpad equivalent of scrolling the mouse wheel over the workspace switcher applet? Or am I on the wrong track?
