Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wacom-tools

Hardware: Dell Inspiron 6400 with Intuos3 9x12 tablet (USB)

Steps to reproduce:

Set up the wacom driver using XOrg.conf (to enable tablet buttons), as
per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting

xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key ctrl alt left"
xsetwacom set pad Button7 "core key ctrl alt right"

Press tablet buttons 3 and 7.

Expected behaviour:

Keyboard event for ctrl+alt+left and ctrl+alt+right would be generated,
which in turn would switch the virtual desktop. (Confirmed with
keybindings).

Actual behaviour:

Depends on the Ubuntu version:

Under 7.10, worked as expected

Under 8.04, these buttons would cause a crash (an unrelated bug that was
reported as being to do with the lack of a core keyboard), so I couldn't
test if they worked.

Under 8.10:

If a gnome-terminal has focus, the keys generate keyboard D and C. If a
Firefox text area has focus, nothing appears to happen. Nothing is
logged to syslog, Xorg.0.log or dmesg.
