It does not work on my latest MBP, snow 10.6.2.
Isn't that from the "universal access" system control panel?

To go further, and this has been mentioned in this list, trapping multitouch gestures as messages would be handy (confider the future revmobile platform). This should be available to all platforms. The the stack could handle the message by itself (for instance enlarge the font size of a field).
There is a report on this at qacenter # 8446
