Bug Description

[Impact]
The Geisv1 gesture IDs were changed when the old grail architecture was removed, since the IDs were based on grail v2 constants. Unfortunately, the gesture IDs are part of the GEIS v1 ABI. The change caused all geisv1 clients to fail to work.

[Test Case]
Log into the Unity desktop and attempt any Unity gesture, such as three fingers to move a window around. If it works, then this bug is fixed.

[Regression Potential]
Small. The fix will actually help the code and the public headers stay in sync going forward. There is very little chance for a regression if the issue is fixed.

Hello Chase, or anyone else affected,

Accepted geis into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geis/2.2.9.2-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
