Just wanted to toss out a note that I think I've found a main problem with how Inkscape deals with extended input devices. The issue where they give no extended pressure, etc. on later GTK2, including that in Ubuntu 11.10, is due to missing event initialization.
I'm trying to narrow it down a bit. Of course, there are still some other bugs that appear to give random garbage in the middle of extended input. There's a good chance that a simple work-around could even filter those out.
So, the main thing now is to know if anyone is trying to use tablets currently and is tripping over GTK2 extended input problems. Speak on up and we might be able to get things at least passible soon.
Thanks.
