A single gesture to magnify the desktop is number four on my to-do list:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Magnification#Features_in_Development

Using the keyboard for zooming is also recommended there (e.g., 
cntl+shift+plus/cntl+shift+minus to increase/decrease magnification).

Is "Super+mousewheel" the standard?

Of more importance:  where in GnomeShell should these mouse/keyboard 
events be hooked in?
