SUMMARY
When using okular in fullscreen mode I noticed there's no way to actually exit fullscreen mode if no keyboard is attached to a tablet pc. This is already covered by bug #419377.
This made me realize that the bug would be less of a nuisance if the screen edge gestures actually worked as intended. I.e. in fullscreen mode, swiping from the screen edge does not trigger. I had some success rotating my tablet and then quickly swiping from the screen edge before things are settled, so I'm not 100% sure if swiping does not work at all, or is just very hard to trigger.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an app (e.g. okular)
2. Activate full screen mode
3. Swipe from the edge

OBSERVED RESULT
No action is triggered.

EXPECTED RESULT
The edge gesture should be triggered also in fullscreen mode.
