** Description changed:

  It seems that unity hijacks multitouch input, this renders 3rd party
  multitouch apps useless.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  ----------------------------
  
-     1 Install touchegg by "sudo apt-get install touchegg"
-     2 Start touchegg in terminal
-     3 Try out some multi-touch gestures and notice only upto 2 finger touch 
is recognized
-     4 Now either use metacity, gnome-shell or compiz (with unity plugin 
disabled) as your window manager
-     5 Repeat 2, 3 and notice all gestures defined in 
~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf work fine.

- I think the best solution here is to remove multi-touch capabilities from 
unity and put them in a separate compiz plugin like drag handles is now. This 
would allow easy customization of gestures and the plugin can be turned off so 
3rd party apps can take control.
