Yes, I think that it is the correct way, some KDE applications are now
introducing multitouch support (like the plasmoids
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDadhfHzoLY>) my app try to do exactly
the second thing, is like a daemon that provides acces to many
functions using gestures, like move/resize windows, change songs, etc
The idea is integrate it in KDE, for example in the KWin GUI to
configure effects, in the global shortcuts GUI (kglobalaccel?), etc

Yes, I'm totally agree Kwin is not the place to this code, and of
course it works with any WM, I only suggest it in this list because
I'm really interested in work this summer in Kwin.
In that place you suggest me to propose the idea?

Thanks for your help!
