Comment 21 for bug 1172172

"The 3-finger and 4-finger gestures now only work with a touchscreen."
First of all, not true. 3 and 4 finger gestures still work with touchpads. I am using them all the time. Only 'some' gestures don't work. Why this selective removal, was it part of the 'design'?
Secondly, I do not understand what harm the gestures on touchpad were doing, that you had to remove them 'by design'?
Thirdly, why does Unity need to hard code the gestures? One can't even use touchegg without recompiling unity.

Moral of the story, my excellent Asus touchpad deserves better. I am moving to KDE to use touchegg.
