SailfisOS 2.0 active covers

Using the Jolla-Phone, I got accustomed to swiping if I wanted an action and clicking if I wanted to enter an App.

Now with the change of the active covers, you have to click for action and entering the App, which provides possibilities for accidentally triggering actions like one would sometimes on an Andoid phone.

Say you are in an meeting or a funeral and want to close the music App. For this I enter the App and swipe from above. With the change I am at risk to actually trigger the play button and instead of opening the App my phone will proudly sing "My life will go on, ..."

So If you must make it Buttons because Android User don't want to change for the better, please make it optional.
