That would be way cool. The best way of doing that would probably be
through dbus to a compiz plugin. Another person was talking about
writing one.

Well, the engines are responsible for interpretting the finger data and
outputing input events. Right now it supports the mouses REL_X and
REL_Y, left, middle and right clicks. What you saw for workspaces was
just scrolling vertically on the desktop. So far, I've only got an
engine to mimic a fancier mouse.

I'll release again when I feel like enough has improved. Already I've
made significant improvements to click detection and may also add a
consistent debug output too. I also have to fix up support for multiple
engines. All of the code is on Sourceforge at sf.net/projects/touchd.
I'm also CCing this to the new mailing list.
Thanks,
