@Alexia : I think you are right about X ; because the solution I found
in this thread were to upgrade to 'Xorg Edger' ppa, and it fixed the
problems. ( even if I felt the overall was a bit 'slow' ... but not on
Ubuntu Studio using XFCE ) So I think the problem may disappear with
next Xorg version in Ubuntu updates. That's why I also understand the
low status.

 If the fix is already done in the next updated version of Xorg, it's
just a "wait and see" issue.

@Douglas : Thanks for quoting my blog ( davidrevoy.com ) and cool if the
infos I provide are usefull for you, and if your daughter have question
on open-source 2D software or on something, she can feel free to comment
on my blog ; I usually answer to each post.

Title:
  Wacom Bamboo One tablet random coordinate malfunctions

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The tablet in overall seems to work correctly, with all pressure-
  features working. But quite frequently, while drawing, GIMP seems to
  wrongly read the coordinates of the stylus (as zeros, or negative
  values?), resulting in frequent, random 'line-peaks' in the direction
  of the left and upper image edges. With this bug it is hard to even
  use the tablet, since these problems are very frequent (see the
  exemplary image attached).

  The tablet works with no problems in MyPaint. The bug is reproducible
  in both Unity-2d and Unity-3d.

  I also notice the CPU usage increasing dramatically during drawing
  with any brush.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Connect the Wacom Bamboo One tablet
  2. Open GIMP
  3. Start drawing longer strokes with any brush

  Expected result:
  The brush stroke as intended by moving the stylus

  Actual result:
  The brush stroke as intended with frequent, random line-strokes towards image edges

  System: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric (development branch)
  GIMP version: 2.6.11 (package version: 2.6.11-2ubuntu3)
