Shai,

On my mac I have a trackpad that allows me to pan and zoom.

(1) Pan: click and stroke.
(2) Zoom in: two fingers on pad and pinch (move them closer together).
(3) Zoom out: two finger on pad and separate (move them farther apart).

Using your patch, he panning works as expected.
However, the zoom-in/zoom-out behavior has changed.

(1) Zoom-in: two fingers on the pad and stroked to the right, left, or  
up.
(2) Zoom-out: two fingers on the pad stroked down.

Is this expected behavior?
