[Guill-muller <guill.muller@xxxxxxxxx>]

Every time I reinstall Ubuntu, I have to build unity from source as per
<url>http://task3.cc/1068/os-x-like-multitouch-gestures-for-macbook-pro-
running-ubuntu-12-10/#Disable_Unity_built-in_gestures</url> in order to
be able to use touchegg. On a laptop's touchpad, unity's built-in
gestures are really inefficient.

I do understand that creating new settings to enable gesture
customization would be a lot of work, but would it at least be possible
to make it so that the gestures are easily (I'm not even talking GUI,
just some file to edit would be fine) disabled ?

Right now, every unity update means taking 30 minutes to compile the
whole thing again, unless I disable updates, and thus miss the bug
fixes, which is what I actually do. Either way, this is obivously sub-
optimal, to say the least, and judging by the number of comments on the
blog post I provided, I'm really not the only one annoyed.

Title:
  Touchpad gesture not customizable or cannot turn off all or selected
  gestures

Status in Open Input Framework:
  Invalid
Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is no way to customize or turn off touch gestures. I think we
  should at least have a way to disable some gestures in case user
  doesn't want them or wants to override the gestures using some
  external app like touchegg.

  We need a gnome-control-center tab to customize touch gesture actions.
