+ * ClutterTouchpadHoldEvent
+ * @type: event type
+ * @time: event time
+ * @flags: event flags
+ * @stage: event source stage
+ * @source: event source actor (unused)
+ * @phase: the current phase of the gesture
+ * @n_fingers: the number of fingers triggering the swipe
+ * @x: the X coordinate of the pointer, relative to the stage
+ * @y: the Y coordinate of the pointer, relative to the stage
+ *
+ * Used for touchpad hold gesture events. The current state of the
+ * gesture will be determined by the @phase field.
+ *
+ * A hold gesture starts when the user places one or many fingers on the
+ * touchpad and ends when all fingers are lifted. It is cancelled when the
+ * finger(s) move past a certain threshold.
+ * Unlike swipe and pinch, @phase can only be
+ * CLUTTER_TOUCHPAD_GESTURE_PHASE_BEGIN, CLUTTER_TOUCHPAD_GESTURE_PHASE_END and
+ * CLUTTER_TOUCHPAD_GESTURE_PHASE_CANCEL.
