Touchscreen we can get that way and yes that would allow edge swipes, 
which would also be very handy as then we can make KWin take care of 
that on both X11 and Wayland. Touchpad I'm not sure whether we get good 
enough events on X11 at all.

Concerning touch screens: passing events through the effects system is 
on my todo list for next week. Let's hope I get to it ;-) (aim is to 
have a new effect which visualizes touch points).
