Nick,
    I don't really understand this behavior, I didn't think Gtk+ (well,
Gdk) did much more than wrap X11/XInput into a common interface. Is it
possible this is actually due to GIMP inconsistencies that coincidentally
didn't work on Gnome but worked on Xfce? Because the current driver exposes
multiple pointer interfaces (at least for the Huion driver), I've found
GIMP doesn't always select the correct one, and doesn't appear to accept
input (but since Gimp still receives input from the master virtual pointer,
it will still receive generic pointer input, so you get motion and button
presses, but no pressure). I hacked my driver to ignore one of the
interfaces, so xf86-input-evdev never sees it, and in turn Gimp doesn't see
it.

Hi Marcus,
     In GIMP if you go to Windows->Dockable Dialogs->Device Status Gimp
will create a small window which is titled "Devices" (or it may immediately
show up as a tab in another Gimp window). This window will show you the
devices currently configured in Gimp. When you draw in Gimp, it will
highlight which device is active. If my above theory is correct, I believe
the "Core Pointer" device will remain highlighted, and your tablet device
will never be highlighted. Do you mind trying that? If you are up to it,
I'd also be interested to see if you can definitely correlate the problem
to Gnome but not Xfce, I wonder if Gimp's inconsistency just coincidentally
appeared that way at first. Trying multiple times in both DEs could show it
one way or the other.


Cheers,
Dan
