Will updating to iOS 4.3.2 take away multitasking gestures on iPad 2?

Hey everyone out there on TiPb!

I went to the Apple Store a couple of days ago to ask them to enable multitasking gestures because I don't have a Mac and I have a PC. So they enabled it for me. Since there is a new iOS update (4.3.2), I don't want to go to keep on going to the Apple Store every time there is an iOS update for them to enable multitasking gestures. So I just want to make sure if I update my multitasking satires won't be gone after I update even when I backup everything on my iPad. Plus I am awaiting for an iPad 2 jailbreak. I just hope they won't be gone after I update because I had to go all the way down to the OKC Apple Store. I will appreciate any help from anyone at TiPb! Thank you all for your time!

Remember! Any help will be appreciated! And thank you all for your time!

Not sure about 4.3.2, but when I went from 4.3 to 4.3.1 I did not loose my gestures. I will be upgrading to 4.3.2 tomorrow so if you can wait I will let you know.

How do you guys like the multi-gestures? I'm gonna update my iPad 2 tomorrow and will probably enable the gestures.

you don't xcode. I did it using the backup/restore method and updating the plist.

SIDE NOTE: I am upgraded to 4.3.2 and my gestures are still functional.

Yes. Updating the plist and restoring. I did that on 4.3. I upgraded to 4.3.1 and the gestures stayed. Today I updated to 4.3.2 and the gestures still work fine.

BTW, to be more specific, I did not edit the PLIST settings to do this. I used Xcode at the Apple Store because I don't have a Mac. But I know how to do that but I think it is too risky for my iPad 2 to get stuck into recovery mode. So, any tips without editing the PLIST settings?:)

lol yeah I can see how that would be a problem. I still am half used to getting back to the homescreen without hitting the Home button but I will learn it.
