May 11, 2012 7:16 AM in response to TigerFrankby mfpjr,I figured this out. You MUST have the application open in full screen to 4 finger swipe. This was driving me crazy because it would work sometimes and others not. I then realized that my Outlook or Word wasn't in full screen.

May 11, 2012 9:08 AM in response to mfpjrby TheSmokeMonster,If your gestures aren't working try turning all of them off and then all of them on.
log out and back in.
This should still work with or without fullscreen apps. it should also bounce your screen if you have no other desktops.
if turning them off and on doesn't work then update your system to 10.7.4 and see if your issue persists.
if it does, file a bug to apple.

Feb 9, 2016 11:16 AM in response to kevin spakeby Rick Montgomery,Problem still exists in Yosemite 10.10.5 on MBP Retina 15" (Mid-2015). Same workaround (option key) and cure (turn off all gestures and turn back on, no reboot required) both work. Seems like Apple would have fixed this by now, but oh well.

Feb 9, 2016 11:38 AM in response to Rick Montgomeryby Rick Montgomery,Rats! Well it turns out that turning off all gestures and turning them back on didn't exactly turn out to be the best idea.
First, it reset all my four-finger gestures to three fingers. That was easy enough to correct. But now, three-finger drag does not work anymore! And what's worse, it doesn't show up in System Preferences as an option! OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, MBP Retina 15" Mid-2015. Three-finger drag worked before I turned off all the "More gestures" options and turned them back on, but now it acts like a two-finger gesture (scrolls, and does previous/next page in Safari). Any suggestions on how to get it back?

Feb 9, 2016 11:44 AM in response to Rick Montgomeryby Rick Montgomery,Never mind, I found three-finger drag. Under Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Trackpad Options, the Enable dragging option's popup menu. Seems a rather odd place to hide something so universally useful.
