Hey, I never noticed this dialog !
It lists the /WACOM Tablet Pressure Stylus/ as well as the /WACOM Tablet Pressure Eraser/ and /WACOM Tablet Puck Tansducer/.
Initially I did not had the puck listed (I never use that).
I dropped it on the tablet for the first time whith the dialog opened and suddendly the left mouse button event did not work anymore on the canvas, and all of this ended with a crash.
On a fresh restart:
Regular mouse is the selection tool
Switch to the puck-> tools switches to caligraphy. Tool works but result is shifted (cursor coordinates are different from drawn ones)
Mouse buttons do not work wile the puck sits on the tablet (but cursor moves)
Remove the puck, use stylus: tools stay the same: works fine (no more shift)
Another funny sequence:
Use the puck ( => tool caligraphy)
switch to stylus, select tool pen, draw
back to the puck, tool stays the pen
But if in this sequence at any moment I draw with the regular mouse (even if the tool switching occured with the stylus), when coming back to the puck, the tool switches back to caligraphy.
If you want me to try other scenarios, jsut ask for ;)
Kind regards,
Aubanel.

BTW, I just remembered one possibility. In my X11 config I have the
ExpressKeys set up as a separate device names "pad". (That's common
for intuos3 and graphire4 tablets I think). Anyway, to avoid getting
the wrong things happening the code is set to ignore switches to any
device named "pad". If that name happens to be reported for your
configuration, you can go into desktop-events.cpp and change "pad" to
"padXXX" or some such.
In the near term I am working on a replacement input config dialog.
Once that is done there won't be a need for that hardcoded work-around.
