After updating my system to OpenSuSE 11 (which required re-installing the nvidia closed-source drivers and first adding another repository for the linuxwacom tools (the system provided cause X to start and crash immediately in a loop)) I found a nuisance which I cannot explain really...

If I draw an object, e.g. a filled Rectangle, and then press F1 for the selector tool, I can click anywhere inside the rectangle to have it selected and the modifier-drags appear on the corners.

previously (opensuse 10.3) I could do the very same with the mouse, and to my knowledge, this is also the intended behavior.

Now, I can draw the object as before, but after switching to the selection tool, I cannot select the object with the pen. I either have to lasso it by dragging a bounding box around it, or 'double-click'/triple-click or whatever on it, but not too fast, otherwise it switches back to edit mode (F4 in the case of my rectangle)

If I click on an object with the mouse, the mouse cursor remains the same as by simply hovering over an object, i.e. the hand. If I hover (not press) with the pen, I have the same hand, but once I press on the object, the pointer-cursor reappears.

Does anybody have an Idea as why this is happening.
