Many of the gestures with the Magic Trackpad are customizable. Swiping between pages can be configured for two fingers, three fingers, or both.
Swiping between full-screen apps can be with three fingers or two fingers.
There are more options; just check the Trackpad preferences. Many of them have discreet disclosure triangles to the right of the option.

this gesture is restored to normal if you use four finger gestures for moving between spaces.
also applies to other applications like sparrow that use 3 finger gestures for things

Excellent! Works on my MacBook Pro trackpad.

You can get the same kind of functionality through a Magic Mouse (particularly with MagicPrefs installed.) I'm still very much not convinced by all these gestures on a 'computer' with a full-size keyboard (but that's in part because I'm a pretty competent touch typist.)

Thanks, I've been missing this.
Also it works for back/forawrd navigation in Google Chrome
Also works with the Magic Mouse.

Not sure that I am completely comfortable with the changes to the Swipes/gestures in Lion. I quite liked the ones in Snow Leopard.
However the utility BetterTouchTool available from http://blog.boastr.net/ enables you to create many more gestures, making them specific to an application if you wish.
I highly recommend it.

BetterTouchTool can bring back that gesture and customize any other gestures :)
Just make sure to disable those gestures in your system preferences

For my setting swipe between pages to three fingers make back/forward work in Finder. And in System Preferences as well...

Is there any way to emulate the multitouch behavior making use of the old MB touchpad + the keyboard?? I can vertically scroll with 2 fingers, zoom in Mission control, I don't understand why we shouldn't be able to swipe pressing an additional couple of keys. Any third part application that allows it?

Cool! Works in Firefox too. Never even thought of trying this. A very handy hint.

Thanks for the tip. Very useful.
Although, I still don't understand why wouldn't Apple make it work without the option key. Yes, there is horizontal scrolling in some types of views or when the Finder window is smaller horizontally than the content. But they could've make it just the way it is in Safari: the swiping through history won't work until you hit the either end of the horizontal scroll. And if you need to go through the history without having to scroll all the way left/right through the content, then you hold the option key.

Sweet !
And I guess if you want to revert back you would use '0' instead of '1'?

Personally, I think it'd be best to just remove the preference rather than set it to zero. After all, I assume the original state was that the preference did not exist.

defaults remove com.apple.trackpad.orientation TrackpadOrientationMode

I can't get this to work. I set the preference (and checked it with defaults read) but nothing happens. I tried turning the trackpad off and on, changing a trackpad-related setting and rebooting the machine, but nothing worked.
Can someone describe what is meant by 'resting 5 fingers on the trackpad'? Do I need to put the full fingers down or only the fingertips? Is the trackpad only inverted while 5 fingers are on the pad or does the 5 finger trick toggle normal and inverse modes?

Here's an alternate default that definitely works but will prompt you for the system's root (Administrator) password, and require reboot (or reconnect?):
sudo defaults write com.apple.MultitouchSupport ForceAutoOrientation YES
Turn the trackpad the way you want it then place 5 fingertips on it all at once, with them fairly spread out like somebody's taking your fingerprints.
You DON'T have to remove the preference to switch back to normal orientation. Just turn trackpad back around and touch 5 fingers again.

I can confirm that this second variant works. It doesn't need the other preference, too.

I can't get it to work either.
I think it would be great if you could hold the trackpad on it's side by the battery compartment and swipe with your other hand. That would be great for doing presentations.

Kilowatt:
Has anyone had success with this hint? It ultimately seems to have come from the same source as the previous hint about switching the navigation swipe from 3 to 4 fingers, and I can report that the latter works as advertised (it has been added to the Secrets database, BTW, for those using their preference pane (download link is near top right)). I can't, however, get any joy with this latest hint for the Magic Trackpad...

Try the sudo variant. There is no visible UI in the preference pane for this. It responds silently and instantly to the five finger magic.

Nice trick. Thanks... I had to reboot to make it work.
