I haven't tried ocelot yet, but on Natty it is only a problem with Unity
-- ie going back to gnome removes the problem.

When you look at the output from "xinput" it seems (and I'm not
experienced here) that the driver is generating the right combination of
ups and downs.

So it seems to be some interaction between unity and some strange
assumption that gimp is making (because I haven't seen any complaints
about similar applications)

Title:
  wacom intuous3 often fails to draw stroke (release click not
  recognised?)

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  It appears that sometimes when the pen is lifted a "button up" command is 
somehow not sent to gimp.
  This is new in Natty (it all worked beautifully in Maverick)

  gimp 2.6.11, 
  ubuntu natty
  Wacom intuous3 6x8

  To reproduce:
  make sure you have selected wacom as extended input device.  Press "P" to 
paint.
  Make a stroke.  Very often (but not always) at the end of the stroke when the 
pen is lifted the paint cursor remains at the end of the stroke and does not 
follow the pointer.  It's necessary to click again (anywhere, or with any 
button) to get the cursor following the pointer again before you can draw 
another stroke.  This makes gimp unusable.
