Smoke testing of Precise X server bits

[Rohan Garg]

There seems to be a bit of a issue with rotating plasmoids on my KDE
desktop using two fingers ( MacBookPro8,2 ). Earlier I could rotate my
plasmoids using 2 fingers. That functionality seems to be lost with
the latest updates ( I'm guessing I need a updated utouch-geis to get
this to work? )  . Scrolling works as expected.
