Wacom tablet kills mouse in Gimp and Inkscape

[sigdrifa]

Hi all

Since the Hardy upgrade I have a problem with my Volito2 Wacom tablet in
Gimp and Inkscape.

When I start the software (either one) for the first time after boot up, the mouse works perfectly normal. But after using the tablet once, it stops working correctly. I can still use the menus with the mouse, and selecting tools and tool options or tuning settings in any of the palettes work - but when I click into the image with any tool nothing happens - until the next
reboot. This doesn't affect other programs or the rest of the desktop.

The tablet itself works fine, though.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have almost the identical problem in gimp with my wacom bamboo. I believe it has something to do with a bug in GTK. If anyone else can offer insight into this, it would be much appreciated.

*bump* SAME PROBLEM! I use Wacom Sapphire. Pressure sensitive wacom AND a working mouse are impossible to configure here. The mouse0 devices "key" events in the Mouse0 page of the input devices window just disappear when activating stylus & cursor.
