[Qt-interest] Gesture not working on windows

[yogesh joshi]

Thanks Thiago,
I tried compiling the gestures example for S60 (using Carbide) and installed it on my N97.
But it still won't work.

Regards,
Yogesh Joshi

The gestures that are shipped with Qt are implemented using QTouchEvents right 
now.

So it will only work for devices that supply touch events. Windows XP doesn't 
support it.

You can write your own gesture recognition code that works on mouse events.
