Four-finger swiping on multi-touch trackpads have a few interesting behaviors not shown in the Trackpad System Preferences panel.

As documented, a four-finger down swipe executes Exposé, while a four-finger up swipe shows the desktop.

Here’s how to install the modified code.

First, quit iCal and create a backup. You can do that however you wish; her…
