| dddggg | hi, i recently got a new laptop with 10finger multitouch. after i installed ubuntu 12.10, it was working out of the box. if i am using unity, i am able to use some multitouch gestures for moving windows etc. With xfce this doesn't work. my question is: what software is responsible for that behaviour? is that compiz? | 13:03 |

| bregma | dddggg, window management is a function of the window manager: unity supports window management with gestures, xfce does not | 14:54 |

| dddggg | do you know, if that's a plugin of which i can find&edit the source easily or is the touch functionality directly compiled into compiz? | 16:14 |
| bregma | dddggg, the gesture handling is in unity, not compiz, and the touch functionality comes from the X server through the geis API | 16:24 |

| dddggg | i want to develop a small application, which provides a menu bar, that is shown when i do a drag gesture beginning at an edge of the screen towards its center. do you have a suggestion how to do this? is the best way modifying the unity source? or can i interface with geis to do this? | 17:24 |
| bregma | well, in theory you should just be able to use geis to do that, so long as the gestures you want are not already grabbed by the window manager | 17:28 |
| dddggg | it seems that you are right. if i try to use ginn, the function geis_subscribe() fails on unity, but works on xfce | 17:34 |
| bregma | unity grabs all 3- and 4-touch gestures on the root window | 17:35 |
| bregma | because they're window management gestires for unity | 17:35 |
| dddggg | do you know where this happens (which package or process)? i just downloaded the unity source package and grep'd for geis but couldn't find anything | 17:37 |
| bregma | I think it's wrapped in a Nux class | 17:41 |
| dddggg | yep, you are right. so i wont get arround editing the unity source code? | 17:58 |
