add multitouch gestures

Hi,

The gestures are very convenient when they are used with a mouse. Unfortunatly they are less convenient with a touch pad.
Some PC have a multi-touch touch pad.
Would it be possible to have multi touch gestures to go back an forward ?

An other proposal for a mono-touch touch pad :
When you swipe from the left edge of the touch pad this trigger a back ; when you swipe the right you trigger a forward.

This solution could also be used on mobile devices.

-1, OS should provide gesture recognition and then expose as back/forward/scroll/whatever to the app.

Are gestures not part of Windows 7? <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2009/03/25/touching-windows-7.aspx">This blog</a> says "scroll, right-click, back, forward, zoom, and rotate" are supported, although later it says some features will need code in the app to support them.

For nox1492, you could try something like <a href="http://www.uscrybe.com/index.php">this</a> to map gestures to keyboard shortcuts perhaps.
