Try going to preferences -> input devices -> configure extended input devices Select your tablet (even if it is already selected, I have to for some reason) and I'm guessing "Mode" may be set to Window. Change this to Screen, press save, close, and try again. (You may also want to press "Save Input Device Settings Now" in the input devices tab) What window mode does, is use the whole tablet to fit the dimensions of the image, that means if you have you pen at the top of the pad, it will be at the top of the image, not the desktop. However, if your window manager catches the pen input to use as a mouse, then as soon as you move the mous out of the image window, GIMP will no longer notice it, and stop moving the drawing cursor. This is how it works in MS Windows.
