Edge Flipping with a window using tablet input will flip to the end of a row of virtual desktop, passing any desktops in-between

When dragging a window to e.g. the right corner the mouse cursor stays on the right side until the last workspace on the right is reached. All workspaces in between not reachable this way :(

Using the normal mouse is no problem. The mouse cursor will automatically move to the left of the next workspace when the window is dragged over. This is not so with a tablet.

This issue occurs because of the absolute positioning of the mouse by the tablet. Because the curor will always follow the position of the pen on the tablet, the mouse will update itself to stay on the very right of the screen. By the time the window moves to the next workspace, the window will move once again to the next workspace until the screen can no longer move in that direction because the cursor will always be planted on the right.

Please see the following video for demonstration:

My System:
Natty/Oneiric/Precise + Wacon Intuos 4

This behavior is still present in Oneiric/Precise. Since this is a non-trivial extension of functionality, this should be set to wishlist.
