Well, if it is indeed a widespread problem, I'm happy to disable it  
for now (when makefiles build again) while a solution can be found.  
However there was only one report about something similar happening  
in sculpt mode, using the same tablet data, and there wasn't  
sufficient information posted to help find exactly what the problem  
could be - that seemed quite isolated. Can you use sculpt mode and  
image painting too?

But I really would like information to help find the cause of this  
since it's related to the underlying tablet support, not what I  
committed the other day. If anyone experiencing this could post a  
detailed bug report as mentioned previously, it would be a great help.

cheers,

Matt
