SUMMARY
I'm using Fusuma to assign 3-finger swipe to switch desktops (on X11). This no longer works. I don't know if this is an issue with Plasma or Fusuma.

I switched to Wayland and found it works by default, without Fusuma. However, the animation goes in the wrong direction: if I swipe right to go to the right desktop, the screen should move to the left. Instead, it animates in the right direction. (The animation is correct when running qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.nextDesktop).

1. 3-finger swipe set to switch between desktops
2. swipe
3. X11: doesn't work anymore; Wayland: animated in wrong direction
