I should add a 4th thing to do :

4. give /dev/input/uinput the right permissions for gnome-screensaver to
work :

chmod g+w  /dev/input/uinput

On my system, the udev rule didn't apply instantly, and I needed the
chmod, else G-S never showed " or swipe finger" prompt and swiping
didn't work.

Obviously a reboot makes 2. and 4. obsolete, but I didn't want to
reboot.

no other modifications.
