"up"graded to oneiric ocelot 11.10 (what ARE the Ubuntu people of power
thinking about these days?)

with Unity2D the gimp problem is different (but equally crippling) --
Wacom Intuos 3: when I touch the pad to introduce a stroke (eg brush or
eraser), the gimp appears often to get a signal to draw in the top left
hand corner, or sometimes on the left edge, so I end up with a long
diagonal line or horizontal line, terminating at the real pen position.

Naturally this makes gimp unusable.

Maybe it is relevant that I have the windows set so that focus follows
the cursor, something that makes gimp MUCH nicer to use than it is on a
windows-style click-to-focus. I don't think the Unity team really
understand this mode.

I haven't yet tried with the gnome shell.

Title:
  wacom intuous3 often fails to draw stroke (release click not
  recognised?)

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  It appears that sometimes when the pen is lifted a "button up" command is somehow not sent to gimp.
  This is new in Natty (it all worked beautifully in Maverick)

  gimp 2.6.11, 
  ubuntu natty
  Wacom intuous3 6x8

  To reproduce:
  make sure you have selected wacom as extended input device.  Press "P" to paint.
  Make a stroke.  Very often (but not always) at the end of the stroke when the pen is lifted the paint cursor remains at the end of the stroke and does not follow the pointer.  It's necessary to click again (anywhere, or with any button) to get the cursor following the pointer again before you can draw another stroke.  This makes gimp unusable.
