feature request: configure to use specific devices only #245

On my Thinkpad Helix I can see some benefit to configuring the Synaptics 
touchpad not to do any multi-finger gesture recognition, so that e.g. Qt 
applications can see touch points from the touchpad.  And then it is nice to 
have touchegg to interpret the 2-finger flick and other gestures.  But when I 
run touchegg, it recognizes all the same gestures on the touchscreen too.  I 
would like it to ignore the touchscreen so that I have full functionality 
available in applications: all the touchpoints are always passed through.  So I 
think it would be nice if touchegg.conf had a means to specify which devices to 
listen on, by name or by type.  Or, it could take the device as a command-line 
parameter.

Maybe it could then be possible to run two instances, one listening on one 
device and another on another, with different configurations.  If such a thing 
worked well, maybe I would like to have only tap gestures but not any drag 
gestures on the touchscreen: a means of simulating right-clicking is quite 
useful, whereas I don't want to block any dynamic-movement gestures from being 
passed through to applications.
