Description

### What Happened?

The carrousel on the start page stops responding to gestures after interacting with it in a specific way, using a mouse.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Start AppCenter.
2. Swipe all the way to the **last card**.
3. Attempt to swipe again **in the same direction**. Because there are no more cards that way, it will ignore the gesture and result in a click instead, opening the currently focused card.
4. Return to the main screen and attempt to swipe in any direction again. It should no longer respond.

The same will happen if you attempt to swipe towards to first card.

### Expected Behavior

When there are no more cards in the direction of the swipe, it should still capture the gesture and produce an effect that indicates there's nothing that way.

It could be similar to what happens when you reach the edge of a scrollable area in the file manager.
