Again thanks for this, for all of us that needs wacom with linux in our work is very useful. Appart from the beta state of the tool, needs some refinement in the ui, but this is not so important, the most important problems for me are: -Is mandatory to have a .xinitrc in you $HOME in order to use the tool. I don't use it because I use the default GNOME session in Ubuntu. -Is possible to extend the option to have different configurations for express keys per application to the pen and cursos, so I can have different pressures for Gimp, Cinepaint and Maya for example. -Freedesktop implementation: the implementation of the freedesktop stuff to autostart the wacom config and restore the defaults seems to be buggy. First a file called wacom-config is created in $HOME/.config/autostart, the place is correct but following the freedesktop specification you have to use the .desktop extension for the file and put this file likr executable, so the file should be wacom-config.desktop and be executable, at least gnome writes the autostart files in this way. -Woud be great to be able to writhe the configuration file to the global autostart too, in /etc/xdg/autostart, if the user have enought priviliges of course. -Finally It would be great to add a couple of new aplications class to the express per aplication options config, these new clases would be: Houdini
At the moment these are my suggestions.
