I'm trying to run touchegg for the first time. Error

me@pc:~$ touchegg
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pantheon-filechooser-module"

I tried:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

and

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip.scott/elementary-tweaks sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks

I used libinput-gestures instead. It works. Sadly, with my particular trackpad I get PINCH detections when I swipe about 75% of the time. As can be seen by running the command

### Test to print out commands that would be executed:
libinput-gestures -d

According to the developer it is an issue with libinput and there is nothing he can do about it.

I'll probably stick to using WINDOWS_KEY + ARROW.
