When I draw in Xournal using a Wacom Graphire3 tablet with pressure sensitivity enabled, the last bit of each stroke appears to have been made full pressure, regardless of what the actual pressure was. I will attach an example file in a follow-up post to show this. I have not found this issue to occur with other programs using the pressure sensitivity of the input device, e.g. GIMP and MyPaint.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I was having the same problem using a Wacom Bamboo on Ubuntu 16.04. Luckily for us, the bug has already been fixed, but it's not in the latest version (0.4.8) so you will need to compile from source.
I did this by running the following commands. YMMV
$ git clone git://xournal.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/xournal/xournal
$ sudo apt-get build-deps xournal
$ cd xournal
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo make desktop-install

Same problem here with my (classic) tablets X41 & X61 in version Xournal 0.4.8. Thanks John Cole for posting a solution. I'll try it and give feedback.

Here is a file showing what I am referring to. Each stroke I made tapered at the end but they get a full-width segment instead.

For all Xournal-enthusiastic Linux-non-pros like me I'd like to add that there appears to be a typo in the second line. This version worked for me:
$ git clone git://xournal.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/xournal/xournal
$ sudo apt-get build-dep xournal #without the "s"
$ cd xournal
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo make desktop-install
Still not working? Make sure you have access to a source code repository.
For Debian for example add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
