Disable Trackpad Swipes Switching Desktops?

Unread post by KrunchTime » Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:16 am

How do I disable the functionality of swiping the trackpad to change desktops? I've done it by accident too many times. It's annoying. It would be a different story if like Apple's Magic Trackpad, you had to use a three-finger swipe to switch desktops.

You forgot to mention it never happened in Crunchbang.

remove this code from your rc.xml

Code: Select all

    
<mousebind button="Up" action="Click">
      <action name="DesktopPrevious"/>
    </mousebind>
    <mousebind button="Down" action="Click">
      <action name="DesktopNext"/>
    </mousebind>
