Glad to see some momentum here.  I've done the following with your
patches so far:

 * Applied your patches to xf86-input-wacom and running under Fedora 18 Alpha.
 * Found the Fedora 17 Touchegg SRPMs you mentioned and
recompiled&installed on Fedora 18 Alpha.

Here is what I noticed so far:

 * Quick testing with updated xf86-input-wacom seemed to act same with
default gestures enabled.
 * When I disabled gestures, I didn't notice anything special in
out-of-box Fedora 18 Alpha.  Looks like Mutter still doesn't have any
gesture support and I couldn't find any apps that have built in XI2.2
gesture support.
 * Launching touchegg from terminal looks like it dumps lots of useful
info to the screen.  With default config file, I could get 2 finger
scrolling and 3 finger window move to kick in but not consistently.
Something feels a little off but I have no baseline to compare
behaviour to so I've no idea how well I should expect it to be
working.

I'll move on to reviewing patches and debugging any issues next.
