It seems that unity hijacks multitouch input, this renders 3rd party
multitouch apps useless.
Steps to reproduce:
----------------------------
1 Install touchegg by "sudo apt-get install touchegg"
2 Start touchegg in terminal
3 Try out some multi-touch gestures and notice only upto 2 finger touch is
recognized
4 Now either use metacity, gnome-shell or compiz (with unity plugin
disabled) as your window manager
5 Repeat 2, 3 and notice all gestures defined in
~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf work fine.
I think the best solution here is to remove multi-touch capabilities from unity
and put them in a separate compiz plugin like drag handles is now. This would
allow easy customization of gestures and the plugin can be turned off so 3rd
party apps can take control.
