I can confirm Ingo's PPA using Alexia's disable-history-buffer patch
results in Gimp finally being usable in Oneiric.  Tested with a Wacom
Bamboo Pen and Touch and tablet PC.

There may be a slight problem with very light pressure strokes not
coming through (stroke discontinuous) and tool selection being a little
sticky.  But that just might need a little fiddling.  More testing would
be helpful of course.

Thank you Ingo.  With your PPA we now have a viable alternative while
waiting for an official response.

Title:
  Wacom Bamboo One tablet random coordinate malfunctions

Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP):
  Unknown
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)
