I have my work computer at home right now, where I use my Graphire 3. Interestingly, I can create with this tablet, but when I try to choose input devices, it tells me there's nothing present (as it did with 0.46). When I was at work, I was able to select and activate all items within the dialogue, but I couldn't select different options from any of the drop-down menus. I didn't try to use the keyboard, but I couldn't make any changes even with the USB mouse--which did allow me to create objects.

I should be clear. With the Intuos 4, I could move the cursor around the screen, and I could select and activate menus, toolbar items, and even tools. When I tried to use them in the drawing area, I got no reaction from Inkscape. I couldn't even click and drag with the pointer tool to create a selection marquee. (My guess is that all the rest is handled by Windows, but the drawing area is handled by Inkscape, which seems to have a hate-on for my tablet.)

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the shortcut. For the Graphire tablet, it doesn't make a difference; it's never recognized. With the Intuos tablet, I only used the shortcut with 'share' so it looks like that comment won't help.
