Bug Description

When using libgrip to scroll with drag gestures on an indirect device such as a touchpad, the behaviour is the opposite of what you get when using the scrollbar with a mouse (or a "two-fingers-to-scroll" gesture interpreted by the X driver as a pointer event).

Libgrip needs to invert the Y axis for non-direct devices when the gesture focus is to be interpreted as a scroll event.

One proposed alternative solution to this problem is to have libgrip support only gestures from direct-touch devices (eg. touchscreens). The attached patch does that.

This functionality is supported by subscribing to separate device classes in libgrip 0.2.x.
