Public bug reported:

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.
