1. A method implemented in a computing system, comprising:

  • running an application program on a computer system, the application program having associated therewith a gesture profile, the gesture profile defining an expected input gesture type to be received from the application for a pen input device and for a first portion of an input panel, wherein the expected input gesture type includes at least one member selected from the group of;

    an exclusive expected input gesture type in the first portion of an input panel, an excluded input gesture type in the first portion of an input panel, a preferential expected input gesture type in the first portion of an input panel, or a non-preferential expected input gesture type in the first portion an input panel,the application program having associated therewith a second gesture profile, profile defining a second expected input gesture type to be received from the application for the pen input device and for a second portion of an input panel, wherein the second expected input gesture type includes at least one member selected from the group of;

    an exclusive expected input gesture type in the second portion of an input panel, an excluded input gesture type in the second portion of an input panel, a preferential expected input gesture type in the second portion of an input panel, or a non-preferential expected input gesture type in the second portion an input panel, wherein the second expected input gesture type is different from the expected input gesture type;

    sending the gesture profile from the application program to an operating system of the computer system;

    sending the second gesture profile from the application program to the operating system of the computer system;

    at the operating system using the gesture profile to set at least one gesture recognition parameter for use when receiving user input from a pen input device directed to the first portion of the input panel;

    at the operating system receiving a user input from a pen input device from the application program directed to the first portion of the input panel; and

    at the operating system using the set at least one gesture recognition parameter in handling the user input.
