There's the xi2 branch of gtk+, which is, as far as I know, pretty close to being merged. That would be needed for adding multi-touch support to GIMP. Not sure if it makes sense to base a Google Summer of Code project on pending work in another project. But it's certainly an interesting project. > Please suggest me there is any other way to do this. Where does > actually the gtk+ code resides in gimp source tar.

The project you are proposing is quite ambiguous as it requires fundamental changes to the GIMP core. I am afraid that you are not qualified to tackle this project. Adding multi-touch support to GIMP requires decent knowledge of GTK+ and GDK, which you are obviously missing.
