    <description summary="touchpad gestures">
      A global interface to provide semantic touchpad gestures for a given
      pointer.

      Two gestures are currently supported: swipe and zoom/rotate.
      All gestures follow a three-stage cycle: begin, update, end and
      are identified by a unique id.

      Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
      backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
      may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
      Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
      the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
      Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
      version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
      interface version number is reset.

    <description summary="a swipe gesture object">
      A swipe gesture object notifies a client about a multi-finger swipe
      gesture detected on an indirect input device such as a touchpad.
      The gesture is usually initiated by multiple fingers moving in the
      same direction but once initiated the direction may change.
      The precise conditions of when such a gesture is detected are
      implementation-dependent.

      A gesture consists of three stages: begin, update (optional) and end.
      There cannot be multiple simultaneous pinch or swipe gestures on a
      same pointer/seat, how compositors prevent these situations is
      implementation-dependent.

      A gesture may be cancelled by the compositor or the hardware.
      Clients should not consider performing permanent or irreversible
      actions until the end of a gesture has been received.
