It’s good to know we can do that.

I’ve had a look, though, and while macOS lets me access the full range
of touch events, GTK3 doesn’t seem to. I don’t know anything about it
really, so it may be possible to grab them directly from XOrg, which,
again, I know nothing about.

And I’ve not even looked at MS Windows—I don’t have a Windows build
environment.

So, anyway, I’ll try to get the gestures working in NS and at least
one Free platform (probably GTK3 unless someone else fancies giving it
a go), and then I’ll see where we can go from there.
