1. The Gnome 3.x "hitting the top-left corner" system works

NOTHING HAPPENS. That surely is because the "focus point"of the "hit"
is too
narrow for a finger. In other words, it's expecting the mouse pointer to be
at 0x0 (or 1x1) pixel coordinate for a splt second before invoking the gnome
screens. With a finger hit, surely one fat finger translates to coordinates
0-40 x to 0-40y.
It doesn't matter if I just position the finger in the corner, or if I try
to emulate the mouse action of doing a small travel with the finger and
"hitting" the corner. It only works on about 1 in every 20 tries.
So, how to fix this? how to make the "invocation area" bigger?
I don't use gnome anymore, but from what I remember you are able to
click on the activities button with a mouse, so you should be able to
tap it on a touchscreen instead of swiping if you want.
