In case anyone was wondering, Wacom tablets do work with Inkscape if they are configured to act as regular pointing devices. It works "out of the box" with Apple's X server, but with XFree86 you will need to have the "SendCoreEvents" option turned on if you do not already. I believe it should just work on Windows also, though I have not tried it. Note that we do not support pressure/tilt sensitivity or any tablet-specific features yet. -mental
