Maybe when you first enter your session the new Xsession opens the wacom device, take the ownership of it. When you change the new session do the same, here is my doubh, why? it can happen. If the second user can access to a previously opened wacom device and take th eownership, the it will be logicla that when you return to your previous session you can again open the wacom device.
