None of Ubuntu's gestures are discoverable, that's just the hard reality of it. The only way this is ever going to work is if the team puts a first-boot tutorial that walks you through each of the gestures and makes you practice them (with a skip option for people who already know what they're doing). I just assumed this first-boot tutorial was already being developed? When reviewers get their hands on this OS, they will pound it for being unintuitive to the average Joe unless there is such a tutorial, and they'll be right.
