** Description changed: Feature Freeze Exception: The current uTouch stack does not have any gesture events that fire when touches begin. Touches must move to cross a threshold before emitting any events. However, gestures on touch begin is a necessary functionality for Natty Unity work. The related branches include the addition of a new "touch" gesture type. When Unity doesn't get an init signal from GEIS we simply cannot perform any actions when the user presses but has not yet performed a gesture. Several touch specifications call for such behavior, these include: - * 3 finger touch to show the window handles + * 3 finger drag to show the window handles * alt-tab * tap then hold (among others). - The most critical of these is 3 finger touch to show the window handles. + The most critical of these is 3 finger drag to show the window handles. This new code is in ppa:utouch-team/unstable and is being actively used and developed against by the Unity team. The changes necessitate enlarging the event type bitmask inside geis, so regression risk is small but non-trivial. The addition of the touch gesture itself is an ABI addition (no API changes, and no ABI breakages).
