I had the same issue of every other brush stroke not registering with my
Wacom Intuos4 medium tablet in gimp under Ubuntu 11.04.  And i know I'm
about a month late on this post here.

After playing around with everything, including logging in with no
effects and tweaking tablet settings, I think i found a little work
around for me.

If you disable all your components then it doesn't give you the
tablet/stylus effects like fading out and what not.  But, if you have
all of them set to 'screen', and set the pad itself to 'disable' it
works out fine for me(and i still get all the perks of using my tablet!)
and I don't get the dreaded freezing/not registering every other brush
stroke, and sometimes not able to use UI elements.

Hope this helps someone.

Title:
  Can't click on UI elements in gimp (intermittent)

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Incomplete
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  Using kubuntu/9.10 on a lenovo x60 tablet PC (wacom). 
  When using gimp, I find that drawing with extended input devices causes all UI interaction outside of the drawing area to stop. For example, I can not click on menus, toolbox, etc. No other programs are affected, and I can usually restore UI interaction by switching the active window (specifically, clicking the title bar on the image window and then the toolbox window restores interaction. I do not have this problem when using the mouse, only the tablet pen.

  Here is an exact sequence that produces this result:
   - start gimp, create new image
   - select paintbrush tool
   - draw in image
   - now I can no longer click on menus or toolboxes (although they do respond to the mouse pointer rollover w/hilighting, tooltips, etc)
   - click the image window title bar (focus switches from toolbox to image window)
   - now I can interact with menus and toolbox again
   - repeat!
