I see nothing being printed once pinch gestures stop being recognised.
I see XI_GesturePinchBegin: 1 a whole bunch of times when they still
work though.
I confirmed that it is printed once again by opening a new frame and
trying the gesture there once it ceased recognised in the original
frame.

P.S., to confirm that I did apply the patch correctly, this is under
"case XI_GesturePinchUpdate:" under handle_one_xevent function right?
When I tried C-c C-a from a diff buffer, I got prompted

    Try to auto-fix whitespace loss? (y or n)

(to which I said yes) so I am not so confident that the patch applied
correctly.
