On all platforms where I have used the swipe gesture, it takes to the right
desktop when you swipe left. With X11, it was like that (imagine years of motor
tuning). With wayland, it drove me crazy because every time I wanted to go a
desktop, it took me to the wrong desktop.

This behavior would be typically changeable but everything I tried using
touchegg, confused the desktop navigation more: touchegg would move it to next
but kwin would move it back, meaning that it did not change the desktop. After
some real desperation, I took the drastic step of finding and toggling the
gesture in code.
