--- Comment #7 from Nate Graham <pointedstick at zoho.com> ---
OK, fair enough. I can see how even with RMI4 support, this could get really
confusing with like three and four finger gestures. But how about just
two-finger scrolling? That should be a really easy use case to detect:
- Two fingers roughly next to each other are both going in the same direction
which is only a maximum of a few degrees off from up-and-down or left-or-right
- A third usually larger finger is more or less staying in one place,
especially if that place is either on the bottom of the trackpad or any other
location below and to the left or below and to the right of the moving fingers

Could we re-purpose this bug to be about ignoring the thumb just for two-finger
scrolling? That's the use case that makes sense, and I agree with you about the
other gestures.

Also, about Bugzilla etiquette: if someone else (e.g. you) moves a bug to a
RESOLVED state and I think it deserves more attention or should be re-purposed,
is it appropriate for me to move a bug back to UNRESOLVED, or would that be
considered rude and instead I should try to convince the person who originally
moved it to move it back?
