There are several messages that are sent, the application can decide  
to hook into whatever layer makes the most sense:

- Mouse
- Pen (including gestures)
- Touch (e.g. Finger down / move / up)
- Manipulation (Scale, Move, Rotate - based on two finger gestures)

An old application will receive mouse-messages from the first finger.  
Some gestures (e.g. two-finger tap or touch-hold) can be mapped to  
extra input like right mouse click, otherwise the second touch is  
essentially ignored. Some other gestures are mapped onto other input  
variants (like scrolling).

BTW: Firefox 3.5 can be nicely controlled with multitouch.

Bye
Martin
