    Change default gesture mode: touchpad=on, touchscreen=off

    A large number of users run the GNOME desktop which has its own gesture
    engine that performs actions on touchscreens. These gestures are much
    better than the ones we provide, so lets disable our engine by default
    for touchscreens. Note that GNOME doesn't do anything with touchpad
    gestures, so we leave them enabled by default.

    Note that this change will effectively cause a feature regression for
    users of other environments that do *not* have their own gesture
    engines (Cinnamon, KDE, MATE, XFCE, etc.). Users will want to add an
    xorg.conf.d snippet with `Option "Gesture" "on"` to bring back the
    functionality.
