I tested this patch yesterday with my Wacom ArtPad II and as I expected, it had no effect. The problem with the ArtPad II (at least with the XFree86 driver) is that it generates proximity in/out events that switch between the pen and the eraser when the pen is down and the side button is pressed. This causes the Gimp to switch to a different tool and this messes up the undo stack, among other things. Since this ArtPad II bug shadows the GTK+ bug that you have fixed with your patch, I have not seen any changes in the Gimp or any other application that I tested. More testing is needed, by people who have another type of tablet. Your patch looks good and should probably go into gtk-1.2.9 if it does not break anything (alas, I cannot test this). If this fixes #10498 for everybody except the ArtPad II users, then it may be better to close #10498 and open a new bug report that deals with the ArtPad II. What do you think? By the way, while testing what happens when the Gimp switches between different tools while you are dragging the selection, I managed to get some strange results besides the usual corruption of the undo stack and the vanishing marching ants: I had the rectangular selection tool active (as seen in the toolbox and the tool options dialog) with the context cursor of the blend tool. The pen was configured to use the selection tool, and the eraser was configured to use the blend tool. Dragging the pen with the side button pressed caused the Gimp to switch between the two tools very quickly (because of the dozens of incorrect proximity in/out events) and when I stopped, the cursor was not matching the current tool. And the image was corrupted with no chance to undo this mess, but this is usual... ;-) -Raphael
