That's because nothing recognized the gesture, probably.

There are some sample gesture dictionaries that have been part of the 
Genie distribution, but you can just define your own dictionary.

The "Basic" box is the definition of a dictionary.

Its exported name is the name that it will be looked up with by the 
gesture's target Morph.

In 3.5, the target is the Morph on which the gesture starts.

If you export a dictionary as 'Text' it will be used for TextMorphs. 
If you export a dictionary as the name of a Morph class, it will be 
used by that class.

So if you export your new dictionary as 'PasteUpMorph' it will be used 
for gestures on the desktop.

You can then add gestures to the dictionary using the 'Browse' tab of 
the dictionary inspector.

I've attached a dictionary that defines a single gesture which will 
bring up an inspector on the World.

We've improved the Genie experience quite a bit, though; the new work 
will be out soon.
