Hey, GNOME 3 is not so bad anymore. I don't even remember why I hated 3.0 so much.

I'm really impressed with the touchpad support in GTK+ 3. It seems to use real OS X style 2-finger gestures: you can fling documents up and down to scroll them with inertial movement (can't be done in KDE, it seems), and you have pixel precise scroll control: if you make a very small movement on touchpad with 2 fingers, then the document also only moves a little.(Again, doesn't seem to be possible in KDE.) I like the touchpad behavior so much I switched browsers for it, to Epiphany.

One thing that is odd, though, is: why do I have to enable horizontal scrolling via dconf editor? The horizontal stuff *totally* works. I was really bummed when I first thought it wasn't possible, but then I learnt that it had been possible in a previous version, so I guessed (correctly) that there must be a dconf entry for it. What a shame, but good job otherwise!

Can you file a bug on that horizontal scrolling thing? Could be that there just is no space for it in the current window. If so, might be an option for tweak tool.
