Oh, sorry, I really did not mean to blame anything or anybody, sorry 
if my email sounded like that, it was not my intention.

Actually not, it probably works well on the vast majority of the 
tablets we support in libwacom, the only one I could find with 
separate mode-switches is the 24HD.

And I realised the problem only once I designed the 24HD layout, and 
just got an email yesterday from someone asking about the odd behavior 
on an 24HD, so it's not like it was obvious from the beginning (at 
least for me).

What I am after is really a way to fix this, without introducing too 
many ugly hacks in gnome-settings-daemon... Thus my question about 
using the API in libwacom to detect the different use cases.

I don't have a 24HD, but for testing I plan on tweaking the I5 tablet 
(the one I have here) definition to use regular buttons as different 
mode switches, after all, the whole concept of modes and switches is 
purely logical. Well, if that works, that would be a cheap alternative 
for testing the code (once it's done) :-)

Cheers,
Olivier.
