Bug Description
System: Windows XP SP2, Wacom Graphire4, Inkscape 0.46
When I try to draw with the mouse, the old bug where the actual cursor is displaced by a few hundred pixels still persists.
Furthermore, in this latest version, I can't even use the pen anymore. I can move the cursor (at the right coordinates), I can click on icons, but when I actually want to draw on the document, nothing happens. I can click anywhere I want using any drawing tool, no lines, paths or dots appear.
So basically, the latest version is completely useless if you only have a Wacom and no simple PS2/USB mouse like me.

I confirm inability to use stylus under windows XP, Tablet PC edition (Inkscape 0.46, Wacom extended Tablet PC drivers v. 5.05-7).
I also have to grudgingly agree with the term "epic failure". A graphics program that fails to work with a stylus deserves that label given the current wide availability of Tablet PCs and graphics tablets.
