SUMMARY Four-finger gestures to activate Overview and Desktop Grid require a lot of movement in order to be detected and for the effect to be shown. While this allows the animation to track the movement which is a benefit for eye candy, this also means that a quick and short movement won't be detected and the effect won't be triggered or, worse still, it will show the start of the animation without actually doing anything, which will look and feel completely broken. In other words, usability is lowered. Detecting a short four-finger gesture (up or down) and activating the corresponding effect with a smooth, automatic animation that does not follow the progress of the fingers' movement should be possible. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Do a short movement upwards with four fingers on a touchpad OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens, or just the start of the animation will be displayed and it will look and feel broken. EXPECTED RESULT The animation plays out without the need to move the fingers across the whole touchpad.

+1. Switched to KDE recently and the four finger swipe in particular feels really janky because of this. I really don't think there's much risk of triggering this effect accidentally (given that it uses four fingers), the trigger should be almost instantaneous.
