How to get some OSX like multi-touch gestures working on Linux Mint with Cinnamon.

multitouch.sh

#This is how I got some of the window management gestures working on linux mint with the cinnamon frontend:

#install your stuff
sudo apt-get install xorg-xserver-mtrack xbindkeys xdotool

#fix mtrack conf
sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mtrack.conf  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-mtrack.conf 

#configure xbindkeys
(
cat <<<EOF
"xdotool key ctrl+alt+Right"
	b:10
"xdotool key ctrl+alt+Left"
	b:11
"xdotool key ctrl+alt+Up"
	b:8
"xdotool key ctrl+alt+Down"
	b:9
EOF
) > ~/.xbindkeysrc

#restart mdm (warning this will log you out)
sudo service mdm restart

#you should now be able to swipe 3 finger l/r/u/p
