| We're also exploring gesture support in legacy applications with the assistance of this project: * [[https://launchpad.net/canonical-multitouch/ginn|ginn]] - ("Gesture Injector: No-GEIS, No-Toolkits") a deamon with jinn-like wish-granting capabilities: it gives applications the ability to support a subset of multi-touch gestures without having to integrate uTouch-GEIS or multi-touch GTK/Qt libs |
