It's unlikely -- they've instead been removing what little gesture
support that originally existed, leaving it all to the applications to
figure out.  (I had some rudimentary gesture support going in Emacs
about half a decade ago, and it stopped working as they removed those
bits from...  was it Gnome or was it X?  I forget.)

And, yes, it sucks.
