[webkit-qt] Gestures

[Felipe Crochik]

Hi Ariya,

That is the problem: how can I "separate" the touch events implemented by
web sites (e.g. pinching on the map on google maps or swiping on a results
page of a google images search to switch page) from "gestures for user
interaction" (e.g. change the zoom factor, scroll the page)?

It seems that I should first give the "page" a chance to deal with the
gestures and only if they are not "needed" have them interact with the whole
view. Every "sample" I have seen will start by intercepting any user
mouse/touch/gesture events and just forward to "webkit" the mouse clicks.

p.s. I really enjoy reading your blog and many times came across your work.
Thanks!

Felipe
