Hmm, I was unaware the particular velocity and distance of a swipe changed its meaning.  It seems this "long swipe"
works to go Home when an app is running, but not from the greeter screen which is what I start from after waking up
the phone when I need to use it, so I never discovered this subtlety.

Is this "swipe all the way to the right" intended to be the way to reveal a list of installed applications to launch
on the converged desktop, the one running on a large high-DPI monitor with only a trackpad for input, or will the
converged Ubuntu simply change to a desktop-oriented UI the Microsoft's celebrated Windows 8 so successfully does?
