Linux "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.

I was going to comment saying basically the last thing you mentioned, macUser. I could see myself performing gestures on a trackpad, where gestures are not *quite* as abstract as they are with a mouse. Mouse gestures have never worked well for me.

I'm excited about multi-touch products starting to be more common, and I eagerly await greater integration in daily OS usage.
