Bug Description

I have a machine with a two-finger touchscreen (htc hd2 with an elan capacitive two pointer touchscreen) and I'm using ubuntu natty arm with unity-2d . Since unity-2d is configured to only parse three to four finger gestures by default, I can't make use of gestures in unity-2d with my device.
Is there a way to reconfigure it for 2-finger use? (directly, without jinn)
If not, can we add such an option / according gesture configurations ?

Sorry, I should detail on what unity gestures I am talking about. Since I do not have the hardware to try the gestures in unity, I only know about them from this wiki article: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/GettingStarted/Natty

Supported Gestures

Unity has support for some system gestures, and you can try those out right away. Here's a list:

    * 3 finger pinch to maximize/restore windows
    * 3 finger press and drag to move window
    * 3 finger touch to show grab handles
    * 4 finger swipe left/right to reveal launcher
    * 4 finger tap to open dash

According to kaleo from freenode, there is no way to reconfigure the gesture behavior of unity as of now, as it is hardcoded.
