Heres the Mozilla gesture stuff I've played with.  (BTW -- gestures are
in Galeon too)

http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/

Basically mouse gestures are click-hold with the mouse, and the action
is performed.  You click and hold the mouse button (and modifier key if
you have one defined) and then draw the gesture and release the button.
heres some examples:

right: back in history
left:  forward
up-down:  reload

etc..

I'm not much of a mouse user, so I didn't care for it, but for people
that use the mouse a lot I'd bet it comes in really handy.

Peace.

john
