No, not really... I don't know what tablet my debugging partner had... All I 
managed to establish was that thats how the events came from X and there was 
nothing I could do about that gimp side... And there was some sort of scaling 
bug in X at the time...

I never thought it could be a configuration issue with specific hardware... I 
will check what model the tablet in question was... I would be grateful if you 
could remember what configuration was changed...
