10.7: Gestures for back/forward in the Finder

I missed the 3 finger swipe to go forward and back through the Finder's history after the upgrade to Lion. 3 fingers now move between spaces. I even tried switching that to 4 fingers, but no joy.

However, I deployed the old Mac favourite -- try the Option key -- and swiping returns to the Finder! It has crashed the Finder a few times, but it seems to work.

From now on, it is Option+3 finger swipes for me.

[crarko adds: OK, I can see I'm going to have to pony up for a Magic Trackpad to be able to try out the new gesture family.]
