Every time I reinstall Ubuntu, I have to build unity from source as per <url>http://task3.cc/1068/os-x-like-multitouch-gestures-for-macbook-pro- running-ubuntu-12-10/#Disable_Unity_built-in_gestures</url> in order to be able to use touchegg. On a laptop's touchpad, unity's built-in gestures are really inefficient.
I do understand that creating new settings to enable gesture customization would be a lot of work, but would it at least be possible to make it so that the gestures are easily (I'm not even talking GUI, just some file to edit would be fine) disabled ? Right now, every unity update means taking 30 minutes to compile the whole thing again, unless I disable updates, and thus miss the bug fixes, which is what I actually do. Either way, this is obivously sub- optimal, to say the least, and judging by the number of comments on the blog post I provided, I'm really not the only one annoyed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I think we should at least have a way to disable some gestures in case user doesn't want them or wants to override the gestures using some external app like touchegg. We need a gnome-control-center tab to customize touch gesture actions.
