Gestures doesn't work on Root Window

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

I use touchegg v1.1.1 on Archlinux with Awesome WM. 
Use 4 finger drag gesture to change desktops.

If there aren't any application on desktop, then gesture willn't work.
Console output this error:

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 15 (X_QueryTree)
  Resource id:  0x0

I've got the xwininfo for the empty desktop:

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
          would like information by clicking the
          mouse in that window.

xwininfo: Window id: 0xc5 (the root window) (has no name)

I guess, there isn't nothing, even background, because there is still 
backgroung from the login manager (SLiM). When I set the background via feh, 
nothing is changed.

Was a tarball ever released with this fix?
