Got a simple solution , install xfdesktop and simply run it:

$sudo pacman -S xfdesktop
$xfdesktop

that's all . Enjoy it.
Happy New Year

With latest SVN version, the errors still appear (both 15: X_QueryTree and 20: 
X_GetProperty) but now it recognizes the gesture on the root window anyway.

It would be ideal if the root window could be handled specially instead of 
being treated as an "application".

Same error here with XMonad. Also, taps on taffybar are completely ignored (not 
even an error message).
