linuxwacom-0.8.5-10 contains kernel drivers that support multi-touch
on Bamboo.  It is not in mainline kernel yet.

Pretty stable.  Good to go for gesture support.

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.

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.
