It's too fast, for one, and makes both gestures and context menus too hard to use generally. I think we need to maintain the gestures code (and I'll be willing to do that myself if nobody else would). > > My opinion: > > * Get rid of the delay for the context menu.

This means the default behavior doesn't hurt anyone, and context menus popup on mouse down like they should. > > My reasoning for this is that gestures will always be a little bit of a crack feature: they're very, very useful once you get used to them, but they do break things for those not expecting that behavior. Mozilla, for instance, needs the optimoz add-on for gestures (I think). Anyone who cares enough can go tweak gconf and enable gestures. The gestures code isn't that complicated, and I don't think it would be a burden to maintain. I think that would be a good solution. Feel free to take over the maintenance of that code ;-) -- Ricardo Fernández Pascual [email protected] Murcia.
