I can understand this position. However, this also poses a question: what counts as a gesture and what doesn't. E.g., on a clickpad, one can click in the bottom right part of the pad in order to get this recognized as a "right button click". Or, one can swipe along the right edge in order to scroll. Are these two examples gestures, or not? -- Alexander E.
