Mmmm... First off, the line above is the same as the one I used until I
installed Kubuntu so it should work. But for some reason I had to reboot to
make the rule to work fully.
As I re-read your previous post I get a feeling that you might have got the
whole thing backwards.. Correct me if I'm wrong..
You can't 'lock' the device name for the wacom tablet to a specific path
in /dev (like /dev/input/event3). What you can do is to ensure that when the
tablet is connected udev will set up a symbolic link (dev/input/wacom) that
points to the device name that was automatically assigned to the tablet by
the kernel.
It's this symbolic link that you should use in your X-config instead of the
eventX one.
If I'm completely off-track here I think I need to see the contents
of /dev/input ('ls -l' kind of listing) when the tablet is connected if I
should be able to help you. Also the entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices
and /proc/bus/input/devices that concerns the tablet can be useful to start
with.
