Bug Description
I've been letting my daughter play/paint with tuxpaint since about 3-4 years (she's 5+ now). I think there's a change in behaviour since the last release (12.10) in that now the pen up/down has changed to be a toggle instead of click while moving the pointer to paint, no paing when moving without pressing a mousebutton.
The thing is that I've just bought a wacom drawing tablet (pen+touch) and it works well, but it isn't usable when tuxpaint works like this. It's already horrible with a mouse, but with the tablet it becomes unworkable.
Krita is wonderful for tablet drawing, but that is just to complex an interface for kids (though I'd love a kids-friendly view on krita as an application, a bit like krita sketch), so I'm at a loss which alternatives exist for tuxpaint for my daughter and the tablet...
Cheers

Does starting "tuxpaint --mouse-
