Comment 9 for bug 1172172

Same here on a Macbook Pro 8,2. Though, I must say that the 3-finger gesture never was too smooth (always sent my windows flying too fast).

I would much prefer to have 3-finger being a drag and drop gesture (for moving files, selecting text and moving windows as usual - by dragging the title bar) and 4-finger moving between desktops same as in OS X, as it feels more natural and results in less disruption when accidentally brushing the touchpad with an additional finger.
