Hi Chase,

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that may be the case, but since
Alex included Magic Mouse in the list of thing to test MT gestures with,
I went and opened bugs when things didn't work.

sabdfl says it work well for him with a Magic Trackpad, so I guess that
means a trip to Raleigh to buy a Trackpad is in order :-)

I just *hate* that I need to go buy new toys ;-)
