Title:
  Unity should listen for gestures but allow other applications to
  handle gestures as well

Status in ginn:

Status in Unity:

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.)
