Not working here. =(

In my device list my genius tablet appears twice with the exact same
name (UC-LOGIC Tblet WP8060U). The first one is useless (if i set it to
"screen", the tablet won't draw anything, although, it moves the
pointer). The second one I have to set it to "screen" or "window",
otherwise the tablet will work as a mouse (no pressure/fading effects).
So it doesn't matter whether the other devices are "disable", "window"
or "screen"; I need to put the tablet as "window" for it to be usable.
But the the problem persists.

I had to kill the-gimp with xkill command, since I wasn't allowed to
click the "don't save" option when trying to close the application.

This bug sucks big time. /cry

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!
