Improvde DBus Gesture selecting

Sun Aug 30, 2009 10:46 am

At the moment, the DBus gesture configuration is just too d*mn hard. I'm far from a tech-numpty - I've installed Gentoo and got most of it working on my own - but not even I could figure out what to put in each of the DBus fields, even after launching the DBus browser to look for what I wanted (which was org.kde.KWin --> Method: nextDesktop). Ultimate configuration power or no, this needs to be MUCH simplified.

An example would be using a similar list as is in the, "Global Keyboard Shortcuts" configuration option in, "Keyboard and Mouse". Having that list, with the ability to pick out individual applications as well, and double-clicking on an action in order to assign its D-Bus call to the gesture would be, I think, the most desirable and complete solution.

Gah. Can't edit the title...
