[Usability] Touchscreen and gestures

[Heiko Tietze <heiko tietze apliki de>]

Hello,

I just read about handling of touchscreen and gestures at MSDN [1] and was 
wondering if Gnome HIG discuss that topic as well. MS discuss some important 
issues like control size, distance of controls and feedback etc. But IMHO it 
is a more technological approach, at least with the recommended use and 
support of 40 gestures [2]. A user-centered design should start with human 
capabilities, which might be very limited for kinaesthetic, and implementation 
have to be completely different from the current, perhaps. Are there any plans 
for Gnome?

Kind regards,
Heiko.
