The two items I listed go hand-in-hand; you can't remove the mouse-down delay without having gestures disabled by default. On the other hand, I think the way it works right now is broken.

The patch was applied without the UI stuff, and I'm ok with that. Gestures are a power user feature, and power users can go tweak gconf :) > That's false. Gestures are not for power user, it's very easy to understand, easy to learn and it's really fast. I show it to some friend, they've adopted it. One of the main feature of opera is gestures, it's with that functionality that heard about it. They are not activated by default but it can be easily activated with the prefs or at the first attempts to use it. It didn't require to modify something with a regedit style app. Cedric ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
