Public bug reported:

When installing a gesture handling application such as ginn, Unity
should allow the application to also receive gesture details so that
native gestures aren't the only ones which can be handled.  I believe
this is related to a bug in ginn
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ginn/+bug/985121).  The
workaround to make ginn subscribe to gestures is to recompile the unity
package after commenting out the initialization of gesture handling in
Unity.  The problem, of course is that the native gestures which provide
drag handles for touch screen users are no longer available making
window management difficult.  Allowing some pass-through of gesture
handling would enable additional touch screen gestures to be handled
without the loss of the native gestures in Unity.

(Should be listed as an enhancement request.)
