Can't use swipe 3 finger or 4 finger after upgrade to Gnome 44

[rafli-sss]

Describe the bug

As long as i still on gnome 43, 3-finger swipe left and right can be used to switch workspaces. However after upgrading to gnome 44 it doesn't work anymore (all swipe with 3-finger and 4-finger can't be used).

Expected behaviour

It should work again like it was still on gnome 43

Same. I had to rollback to Gnome 43.

Touchegg is still working as custom gestures configured with Touche still worked, but the connection to Gnome via x11 gestures extension seems to be busted.

this seems to be an issue we can track as well.

I've tested that. With 4 fingers I found out gestures are working, but they are working in a very strange way: swipe up/down changes workspaces, swipe left opens overview

[carlossantos74]

I've tested another solution that works fine for me.

(Using X11 with nvidia)

I've also changed settings via Touché and it works fine now. (I've used key combinations to replicate the behaviour of the X11 gestures extension)

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.
