The program's model of the user is most often the problem. Since people
have but one single focus of attention, anything which changes the
meaning of gestures is asking for trouble. Dialog boxes, for example, do
exactly that. Nothing works until the demanding box is satisfied. See
Raskin's The Humane Interface for more theory and examples.
