Gestures still activate when the screen is locked and causes the lock screen to go unresponsive.

Issue Description

Gestures like swiping up with 3 fingers and pinching with 3 fingers still work in the lock screen. If there are apps open, their contents are displayed too.

When this is done, the lock screen becomes completely unresponsive and I am unable to enter my password to log back in, with the quickest way out of it being a force shut down.

System Information

Distro: Arch Linux Kernel: 5.15.3-arch1-1 Plasma: 5.23.3

Logs

Doesn't seem to contain anything useful. These logs are from boot until the point of me force shutting down (by holding the power button). I did close my laptop lid (and cause it to sleep) then reopen it at some point.

Should gestures be normalized with Plasma 5.25?

Plasma 5.25 now support gestures (only on Wayland). Should ToucheggKDE shortcuts be adjusted to follow the same gestures as the official functionality in Wayland?

Three finger swipe to switch between open applications

My girlfriend loves the gestures to swap between applications with three fingers, and that`s why I like to install Touchegg.

Now I read that the default setting for this gesture is to swap between virtual desktops, and I ask myself why. Is it, that macOS actually uses virtual desktops, and that applications open by default on their own virtual desktop?

Or is it that Touchegg can not swap between applications? Is it possible to switch between apps like I do with Alt + Tab?
