Bug Description

Hello

I have a Lenovo T540P notebook with Ubuntu 14.04 up2date Installation. I try to enable 3, 4, 5 finger gestures but no success. I have made a small script to disable normal scrolling with touchpad:
#########################
#!/bin/sh -x
synclient TapButton2=0
synclient TapButton3=0
synclient ClickFinger2=0
synclient ClickFinger3=0
synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0
#########################
In the touchegg config file is this /home/username/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf:
<touchégg>

    <settings>
        <property name="composed_gestures_time">0</property>

When i start the touchegg program in the terminal i got the following messages but no gestures working for me:

Reading config from "/home/username/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf"
Try to make a multitouch gesture. If everything goes well the information about the gesture must appear
[+] Avaliable gesture:
     Name -> Flick
[+] Avaliable gesture:
     Name -> Drag
[+] Avaliable gesture:
     Name -> Pinch
[+] Avaliable gesture:
     Name -> Rotate
[+] Avaliable gesture:
     Name -> Tap
[+] Avaliable gesture:
     Name -> Touch

Please help me how to configure the system to get 3, 4, 5 finger gestures to work.
