Maybe this whole gesture thing should be left for someone like Ubuntu Tweak
to implement? Surely Ubuntu touch will give users root/sudo access by
default, just like on the desktop version, so there's absolutely no reason
this can't be done after the fact. I don't believe there will be enough
page stacks to worry about this feature, so dedicating a gesture to it is
not needed. If it turns out that page stacks are everywhere, an update will
be able to add a gesture in, or an aftermarket tweaking app will be able to
as well.

This is my opinion.
