The welcome wizard asks you to swipe left to reveal the Today scope, 
which of course doesn't ship on the Nexus 7 and isn't fully functional 
from the Ubuntu App Store anyway, and then dies.  Maybe it decides to 
tell you about the indicator menu and sometimes not--I've seen it both 
ways after a complete reflash, and then is never seen again.  It 
certainly never says anything about the side stage.  Or the bottom edge, 
or the right edge.

In any case, I'm a fan of multitouch gestures.

On the bright side, the new OTB setup wizard is absolutely gorgeous.  I 
want it on the desktop now.  :)

Three-finger drag seems to be working, although I think the way apps 
stack there simply wouldn't work at all if the right-edge quick swap 
gesture were different.  Luckily, it's quite usable.
