I find those new fangled mouse gestures really distracting on my laptop, and Fedora Core 7 installs them by default.
This page at folk.ntnu.no tells you how to disable them:
In kcontrol go to "Regional and Accessibility"/"Input Actions". Be sure that "Disable mouse gestures globally" is not checked in the "Gestures settings" tab. I use "Mouse 3 (secondary)".
