Middle click isn't working in Gnome Shell #229

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It seems, that the middle click isn't working in Gnome Shell (using Ubuntu 
Gnome 13.10). Clicking on an icon in the sidebar of the activities overview 
triggers nothing, where normally a window of the app should be opened on 
another desktop. Closing opened windows with the middle button in the 
activities overview isn't possible too (you can enable this with an extension), 
but worked flawlessly before the TouchEgg installation, because I configured 
the synaptics touchpad through xorg.conf by enabling "TapButton3". Now it's, of 
course, disabled so that TouchEgg can register 3 finger gestures.

Hoping for a quick fix and wishing all the best!

BTW, the appropriate command in the touchegg.conf looks like this:

<gesture type="TAP" fingers="3" direction="">
            <action type="MOUSE_CLICK">BUTTON=2</action>
        </gesture>

It's also not working on the desktop with Gnome-Shell installed. After 
launching TouchEgg in the terminal, I get the following error message, when 
using for instance a 3 finger swipe to change the desktop:

Failed to dispatch geis events

Gladly it's working flawlessly with other programs like nautilus and firefox.

Hoping for a soon fix, since this app is damn useful!
