Hi,

I have a Lenovo X200t, which includes a Wacom tablet. Ever since
upgrading from Fedora 13 to Fedora 18 I run into a problem that the
stylus calibration is incorrect if rotating the screen/tablet between
landscape and portrait mode. Specifically, if Xournal was started in
portrait mode, the calibration will be wrong after rotating to landscape
mode, and become correct again after rotating back to portrait mode; and
similarly, if it was started in landscape mode, the calibration is
incorrect in portrait mode.

Restarting Xournal after rotating the screen does help, but is an
annoyance. Disabling XInput mode also helps, but then I of course lose
desirable functionality like pressure sensitivity. Disabling and then
re-enabling XInput mode does not help, however.

I've read some posts that suggests that bug really belongs with GTK, but
I can't help but observe that only Xournal appears to be affected by the
bug. Calibration in the rest of the desktop environment is fine.
Calibration is also fine in Xournal's menus and panels - it's only the
drawing area that's affected. And even there, the pointer "dot" is
correctly calibrated - it's only when I actually draw something (or use
some other tool) that the calibration is incorrect.

Is there some patch or workaround that would solve this issue? Even if
it was a tool or command that would tell Xournal that the screen had
been rotated and that it needed to re-read whatever settings it reads on
startup, that would help. If I could add e.g. "killall -USR1 xournal" to
my screen rotation script, that would be perfect.

Best regards,
