Impressively pessimistic in so few words...
Does this mean we have to get a move on switching to GTK+3?

So very true... Alexandre has a knack for decimating one's hopes and dreams with such grace and brilliance. :) The "best" option is really for someone with Windows to dig around for set of win GTK+ libs that doesn't have the security vulnerability present in the last one we shipped which still supports tablets correctly.

I say best because I don't know the status of the GTK3 advanced input devices support and because even if it were a better option, a number of our linux users will take serious issue with bumping the lib requirements that much. I hate to be a jerk, but this doesn't bother me all that much. I certainly won't lose any sleep over users who don't want to upgrade not being able to have the latest and greatest Inkscape. Before anyone makes an LTS/Enterprise argument, typically they want all software locked to the shipped versions, so I'm not buying it.

(I was very disappointed upon installing my tablet that pressure sensitivity
does not work in trunk :(

You and countless other Windows users...
