For me, marginally (and fully) interesting has always been about 2-finger scroll, vertical and horizontal. I actually find the other gestures to be a tremendous annoyance when activated accidentally. I'm looking through Wacom's docs now, but a subjective report on the usability of this feature (if it exists) would be appreciated, as well.

The Bamboo's scrolling under Windows is pretty poor. It can't do horizontal and vertical at the same time, and you have to drag your fingers too far before it starts scrolling. Under OS X, the scrolling is a proper 360 degrees, so once you've gotten the speed adjusted to your liking, the only annoyance is that you can't turn off the inertia (which is not smooth). You just have to learn to stop your fingers before you lift them off the pad. All the multitouch gestures can be turned off, so if there are ones you don't like (or just wish did something more useful) you can get rid of them. The zoom and rotate gestures aren't as smooth as Apple's, but I think that probably has more to do with the fact that the Wacom drivers only send keystrokes to applications, rather than the full gesture information in real-time.
