Mmm... I recognize this symptom... Last time I saw it was due to a bug in 
xserver 1.4 which prohibited proximity in/out to be sent to the X-clients.

Does the mouse stop working directly when you connect your tablet, or do you 
have to use it first? In Gimp, if you draw with the stylus and then move the 
pointer outside the window and then use the normal mouse. Will the mouse work 
then?

If it does, you're probably missing a patch on the xserver (from December).
