We only respond to keyboard events, so if Logitech is doing something magical, then it might not be compatible.

Could you try enabling debug logging and see if you get any log lines when you use the gestures:

It would also be interesting to see how other applications behave. Please try the following page in a browser and use the gestures with the input box focused:
