Eaaasy. You could have gestures even on Diablo's Qt 4.5, it's just that there was never enough interest to warrant the backporting (=volunteers welcome mode).

Plus, multi-touch can work even on a resistive display in a way too if you program the app that way. And quite frankly, when i played with my friends iphone, the only time i really used multi-touch was on the web (zooming in). And in games? Is it really that necessary? I will be more happy if the N900 has better portrait support rather then supporting real multi-touch. If i had a N*** tablet already, i perhaps would wait for that long, but since i don't, i guess i won't. So, thanks for clearing up my mind, although i will wait for next month's Maemo Summit to know for sure. Right now i just hope they polish things (fw) before the N900 hits stores.
Buy what's out and available now, don't bank on future rumors.
P.S. The "surprise" that guy is talking about. Has anyone thought about 3d?

I think the developer of liqbase was experimenting with multitouch on a resistive screen.
This is achieved by the fact that two or more touches (assuming same pressure for all touch points) on a resistive screen result in the center point of all touches to be seen as the one single point. You can try this yourself with the "Sketch" application and two/three fingers on your tablet.
Edit: See a video of liqbase's "fake" Multi-touch.

So does this mean there is no hope for N900 to get official Maemo 6 running ?
