Hi Jason,
As before the configuration for the pen just works for one session.
After restarting it's been reset.
Ubuntu 6.06, Gnome 2.14.2
I have some suggestions for your program though.
- It would be nice to have an option for setting the sensitivity of
the pen tip (PressCurve option in xsetwacom)
- Inlcuding options "TwinView" and "Screen" for multi monitor
environments could be a bonus too
- And at last, when it would be implied into the drivers permanently:
"Rotate" to rotate the tablet orientation
btw I heard that in Ubuntu (or Gnome?) instead of .xinitrc .xsession
will be executed at startup when using GDM or similar. .xinitrc is only
used when starting X from a console.
But didn't proof that on my own till now.

ok I've just finished 1.0b1 (http://alavaliant.googlepages.com/wacom-config-1.0b1.py)
It has a few bug fixes (Mainly to do with setting the tablet area,
BottomY in the previous release wasn't getting saved) and should now
have the needed setup to make the tablet settings/expresskeys restart
on login for systems that don't run .xinitrc.
(I've implemented the standard start on login method described in (http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-0.5.html
) so any desktop environment following those standards will work
(gnome2.14 and xfce4 seem to be two that do.) other desktop
environments may support it but I've only tested a few. kde doesn't
as far as I can tell and since I know many people use it I've
implemented it's native autostart methods. I'd assume kde and other
desktop environments will implement the standard way soon(?) so the
number of working desktop environments should increase in the future.
I'm not sure on what size following non kde and gnome desktops have so
for now I'm not going to work on supporting the many weird and
wonderful ways all the small ones use (Unless I see that some
environment is heavilly used by wacom users.).)
Thanks
Jason

First thanks Jason to begin with this, all of us that work in our jobs
with wacoms and linux needs an applicaction to do this.
Secondly I will try to make it at most standar as possible, to do this
Ithink that the freedesktop specify that all the configuration files
should be under $HOME/.config directory, and there should be an
Autostart file that should be executed every time a freedesktop
compilant desktop or window manager is started.
I am not sure about this specification, the thing I am sure is that
the freedesktop specifies a place to put autostart files.
Anyway because I am not sure the level of compatibility of all the
window managers at the moment I add some help of how to add an
autostart script for different environments:
KDE: add the script to the folder: ~/Desktop/Autostart
GNOME(2.2 and greater): place the script in the folder:
~/.gnome2/Desktop/Autostart
Window Maker: add the scirpt lines to the file
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart
XFCE3: place the script in the folder:
~/Autostart
XFCE4: place the script in the folder:
~/Desktop/Autostart/
I think that the standar is the last one.
Maybe this helps
