Gestures not working after update to Fedora 38

[ItsKou]

Describe the bug

The extension doesn't work since I updated to Fedora 38, a look the logs shows errors every time I swipe so it is being detected. The error complains of display being null. I've searched for other issues but couldn't find anyone else talking about this so decided to make a report. It worked perfectly before the update and gestures still work in wayland.

Expected behaviour

Gestures trigger for swiping between workspaces.

Actual behaviour

Gesture doesn't trigger and throws an error.

Tried deleting the touchegg config to reset to default, no changes.

Your environment

• Extension version: 16
• Touchégg version: v2.0.16
• Operating System: Fedora 38
• GNOME Shell Version: 44.0
• Are you using other GNOME Shell extensions?
  • Appindicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
    • No difference with or without this.

Same problem for me, also on fedora 38.
Touchegg itself seems to be running, if I attach a client using the debug flag I can see the gestures being detected:

Touchégg v2.0.16.

But alas X11gestures is generating the same errors for me too.

Same for me for ubuntu 23.04

[isapa1984]

Same situation for me. Fedora 38 with Touchegg installed and running.

[vladAlcash]

The problem is relevant to me, too. Ubuntu 23.04

Same issue, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20230422. Tried installing touchegg from repo and x11gestures extension, made sure to enable the service. "JS ERROR: TypeError: display is null", then a traceback with the same line numbers as the first post in this issue.

For me, it seems like the gestures are now 4 fingers instead of 3 and are rotated by 90°. This is on Ubuntu 23.04 with Gnome 44.

[buhovets]

Yep, problems on gnome 44

[JoseExposito]

Sorry for the delay fixing this issue. A new version is available at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4033/x11-gestures/ fixing the GNOME Shell extension.
