I just got a Wacom Intuos3 tablet and I am trying to set it up properly for Inkscape on Win XP SP2 (fully patched). At first pressure setting wouldn't work so I downloaded the latest build (Oct 18, 2007) and it works great! However, the mouse doesn't work at all properly - it seems to be using the pen settings. I have tried other programs (Gimp, Flash etc) to make sure it isn't a setting I have wrong but they all seem to work correctly. I do have a profile set up in the Wacom prefs for the pen in Inkscape but the mouse is using the default settings.
Has anyone else come across this and if so, what can I do to fix it? It's great having the pen but I can't double-click guides with the pen so there are times that the mouse is useful.
Thanks,
Tony

Tiresome, isn't it?
Myself and at least one other user have reported this problem, but have had no responses from the gurus. I guess it's a 'feature' of Inkscape!

You guess wrong. The only bug we can fix is the one we can reproduce. The problem with this bug is that it's tied to hardware, so cannot be reproduced without some special hardware and perhaps the OS that the user has. For example I have an Wacom Graphire and it works without any problem in Linux and Windows. Hence the lack of replies - until some developer can reproduce the problem on his own system it's not likely to get fixed.
Moreover, in this case it's highly probable that the problem is actually not in Inkscape but in the GTK library. So it's likely that if this problem is reported on the GTK mailing list it will get more attention. Be prepared to state your exact version of GTK and OS and the exact hardware and driver you use. It may very well be a known problem for GTK devs.

Excuse my ignorance - when you say 'which version of gtk', is gtk compiled into Inkscape in the Windows builds?

Not really "compiled in", but Inkscape is shipped with its own version of GTK as dlls in the same dir where inkscape.exe lives.

I don't remember see this on the Inkscape Devel List. So, I'm sending this to there.
Just so you know the user list is good but for issues like this the devel list is easier to get responses from the developlers as they watch it all the time. Or filing a bug report with the tracker if it hasn't been done, most bugs get looked at during the release cycle.
As to this bug i think this maybe a GTK bug as Synfig has the similar issue of not being able to use the mouse for input when input from a tablet is turned on. Or maybe we not setting it up right who knows.
Thanks for the report, Joshua L. Blocher
Update - also posted to inkscape-dev...
Well, I guess it is a GTK version clash... I deleted every reference to GTK in my path and it works perfectly now! Note: I didn't uninstall GTK, I didn't delete anything, I just edited the path variable.
Thanks to everyone who helped,
Tony

Well, I suppose if it is a 'feature' then I should get used to it :-)
Seriously though, the only real issue for me is the guide setting. I tried setting them in xml but the numbering system seems to make no sense (I am working in mm, are the xml numbers in px?). So, is it then possible to have another way to access the guide setting box to manually enter the value? Perhaps a right click context menu or even a keyboard shortcut, say ctrl-click?
Thanks,
Tony
