thanks for the work, that was quick. I’d like to see this in the official package (and thus on the Freerunner), if one thing would be added: Not always do you want a right-click when you hold the pen, some applications might not like that (e.g. the keyboard, or games), and it should not be necessary for most apps running on a smartphone anyways. So if this behavior could be toggle-able while X is running, then one could have an applet that switches this, and work both with right-click-needing apps and left-button-hold-needing apps. Greetings, Joachim PS: Wouldn’t it be able to implement this a bit more flexible in a regular X client program that listens to X input events and “forges” the right click upon the right gesture? -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
