if you resize a 123
456
789 grid to the gesture (eg .. Z.. size 120x80 pixel) , the gesture goes through the fields 1235789. We need a function that tracks the "mouse pointer" and adjusts the grid in the screen. I have a simple mouse pointer application where you could test the success.
The alternative would be look into hd-home.c and figure out, how to disable data handling there and hook up the above instead.
So 5 is the center and from there you can get to 2,4,6 and 8 and it als should be possible to swipe from 9 to 3. That would be awesome
Actually, the cube you're talking about is something like this, right?: http://www.thinkinbytes.com/en/products/cubedesktop/
That is not what is being discussed here. OP was talking about dividing each desktop screen into smaller grids so as to make gesture tracking easier. So that we can make gestures like in Opera to do some actions (like launching maybe the phone) faster!

Thanks for taking this initiative to look into this. If you're thinking about gestures, wont it be better to have a system wide deamon than just on the hildon desktop?
In this thread ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74324 ), joerg was also thinking about something along the same lines. Talk to him, it might turn up something interesting!

... Talk to him...
Systemwide would be better, but you'll have to consider scrolled windows, text editing or drawing apps and all these things where's not that clear, what the user is doing (I thought about proximity sensor as trigger for strokes in applications).
As a fallback solution for myself I was thinking about disabling all clicks in hildon home and writing some daemon to watch moves.
With my computer with phone, I can't send messages, so it'll have to wait, till I get to my computer without phone.
In the meanwhile, anyone else... ?
I second idea with systemwide, with activation on proximity sensor cover. Disabling click on hildon-home is a no-go, it would be PITA when using external mouse (or any mouse-like thing) via USB hostmode or bluetooth.
