Based on the screenshots, Inkscape uses Ubuntu's custom overlay scrollbars, which apparently break pressure sensitivity for (Wacom) tablets in Inkscape (confirmed on Natty, Precise and later versions of Ubuntu).

A workaround is to launch Inkscape from the terminal, with the custom overlay scrollbars disabled:

$ LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 inkscape

Linking as duplicate to Bug #790130 “no pressure sensitivity with wacom tablet in inkscape“ - please add a comment here and revert the duplicate status if you don't agree and think this must be different issues, which require to be tracked separately.
