Did 12.04 just add multi-touch gesture support mid-release?

I thought that was a little odd myself. I did some digging and it looks like the upstream project was renamed.

• utouch-geis
• utouch-frame
• utouch-grail

are now:

• geis
• frame
• grail

(See bugs 1029482 and 1029643)

This update reflects the rename along with some bug fixes:
