Yes, I guess I only need that. My only question is: would the pinch
gesture also handle dragging? I'd be very happy if I could zoom-drag
the whole thing at the same time, but given that I don't need
single-finger strokes in the empty area, I could use the Flickable
thing and be done with it.

Would I need to write my own detection code? I could probably do that.

Of course :)

I was actually hoping to find something like Apple's iOS gestural
framework which is so far the closest thing to what I need. In that
case you can attach gesture recognizers to views (views are simply
whatever visual object you draw on the screen) and the whole thing is
handled in a sort of graphical scene kind of way with a view hierarchy
that implicitly sets priorities for gestures. Unfortunately that
doesn't even work for plain old Cocoa so I'm completely out of luck.

Awesome! I'm going to test this on the big screen in the next few hours.
