you can put more than just one trigger to the matching, so you can
trigger on the "velocity y" property.
the full list of triggers can be seen when running geistest, but you
need to put them in them order as they appear (put a trigger for
"delta x" then another for "velocity y")

touch and hold gestures aren't available for maverick (geis 1.0), but
it will be supported in Natty.
But for mouse buttons they are supported in Ginn, See OpenOffice example.

Matching according to the position is possible ("position x",
"position y") but I don't advise you to use it
instead use a more tolerant way with the bounding boxes
"boundingbox x1", "boundingbox y1"
"boundingbox x2", "boundingbox y2"
