Swiping to switch spaces stopped working in Lion

Thank you!

I had a similar issue, but I found an easier way to fix it.

I've just bought magic trackpad, and had all the gestures working except switching spaces/fullscreen apps. Could be caused by the fact I turned on three fingers dragging only to turn it off later.

So, I went to Preferences -> Trackpad -> More Gestures and switched Swipe from four fingers to three, and it simply started working.

My guess is gestures can conflict with each other, so to avoid conflicts Trackpad Settings change conflicting values in other gestures. Apparently, the new gestures might not be enabled after such automatic change. You have to re-enable them manually by changing values.

Yes this one worked for me, great!!!!! If you are an old mac user then you realize that swiping between fullscreen apps, is absoloutely needless! Thanks VictorCode

Thanks for this, mine stopped working all of a sudden without me making any changes what so ever (weird). Took your tip and it worked 😎

Thanks! Useful information when sometimes nothing makes sense with technology.

Took me all morning to find out what was wrong - thanks for the tip!

Thanks. Small thing, but it was driving me nuts.
