Comment 1 for bug 241589

This is probably bug 168646 again.

Thomas Bleeker's explanation of how to fix it by patching libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll with a hex editor is here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496958#c24

Or use can just get the patched version here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/178823/comments/3

Or you can use the latest official GDK DLL, which incorporates Thomas Bleeker's fix. See the explanation here: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1091&p=5346 (The title of this is a bit misleading, as it should work for all Wacom tablets, not just Bamboos. However, nobody has yet told us whether it works at all - so if you do try it, please post there and tell us.)

Or use a recent development snapshot - Wacom support should work with these (but other things may be broken if you pick a bad day): http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?C=M;O=D
