Pretty stable.

(Xserver or > whatnot) For true wacom hardware, gestures are detected on the X side of things. The firmware/hardware does not do any gesture detecting. I don't think there is any plans to pull gestures into kernel driver. linuxwacom-0.8.5-10 contains support for 2 finger gestures (tap-to-right-click, pinch zoom and two finger scroll). 1 finger gestures are limited to touch-to-click like you'd use for touchscreen. xf86-input-wacom git repo has a bamboo branch that supports 1 finger gestures (touch-to-clink on touchscreens, tap-to-click on touchpads) and 2 finger gestures (tap-to-right click, pinch zoom, and two finger scrolls). The other email about 1 finger gestures is to begin to align the linuxwacom and xf86-input-wacom code base in gesture area. > PS: For when I'm in windows from what I can tell the gestures are hard-coded > and cannot be user-specified, has anyone tried the windows drivers? Not personally. Also, no current way to map fingers to different X pointers (MPX). And no way to bring multi-touch gestures out to applications (such as Firefox) in the way like Windows 7 does it.
