Hi all,
First off, thank you for xf86-input-wacom, I'm using it successfully on 
my Viao Fit 13 on Arch, although getting Arch to use the driver was a 
learning experience. :)

I'm a little sad, though, that I must choose between the more important 
and critical gestures (1/2 finger, left-right clicks and scrolling 
provided by xf86-input-wacom) and the flashy, time-saving and 
people-wowing gestures provided by GNOME3, such as four-finger swipe to 
switch workspaces and window min/max swipes.

I'd also love to define my own gestures as I did with Touchegg on Debian 
previously, to allow tab opening/closing/switching in browser etcetera, 
though this will require figuring out why Touchegg *never* received 
gestures, whether on evdev or xf86-input-wacom or whatever, on Arch.

Anyway. The choice feels artificial to me, because xf86-input-wacom 
isn't using the 3+ gestures anyway, and GNOME's more interesting 
gestures are all 3+. xf86-input-wacom lets me disable gestures and 
passthrough all gestures, but then I lose right-click and vert/horiz 
scrolling.

What I'd love is a partial passthrough, either explicitly defined (such 
as "passthrough 3+ fingers" or "passthrough all 2f horizontal swipes") 
or implicit ("pass through anything not recognised as an 
xf86-input-wacom supported gesture"). That way, I could take full 
advantage of the wacom driver's gestures but get passthrough to the 
GNOME set, too.

Is this possible, or is there a reason it's not already the case?

Many thanks,
Cathal
