"My first brush with mouse gestures on the Opera browser was an accident, but the ability to quickly move backward or forward in the browser history, open new windows, close tabs, and more without using the menus or moving the mouse toward the navigation toolbar won me over immediately. Nowadays, this feature is available in Firefox and Konqueror too, and you can even configure mouse gestures for GNOME and KDE desktop environments." More here.

Mouse gestures can be used on Compiz, and although I found them very annoying at first, they can become useful once you're used to them. Designers just have to be very careful that you don't end up triggering one by accident. For example, I used to trigger the "middle mouse scroll on Desktop spins the desktop cube" gesture accidentally while scrolling down a large web page.
