Hi Martin,

Thanks for looking at it.

You can find an explanation about how to use gestures on the following
page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility/OnboardAndMousetweaksAtGDM

In ubuntu intrepid you don't need anymore to do everything that is
explained on that page. After applying the patch of the bug thread, you
can jump immediately to point 4 of the explanation of the page linked
above.

Remarks:

- the gesture command for mousetweaks in the patch are a little
different as that on the help page; the command on the help page is for
older versions of mousetweaks

- Currently on my system, when I perform the gesture to start
mousetweaks, I get an error dialog telling me that I have to enable
Assistive Technology. The author of mousetweaks does not have that
problem. Could you please tell us whether mousetweaks starts up
correctly (the window to choose click type appears) or whether you also
get that dialog. In any case, the fact that mousetweaks tries to start
is a sign that the gesture works; the problem lies probably somewhere
between mousetweaks and atspi (or with my installation).

Cheers

Francesco

PS: CC'ing this email to Gerd Kohlberger, the author of mousetweaks.
