I could not apply this patch, using a different version of wine than it was created for I believe, or maybe just not understanding well enough how to apply it. I usually work through the package managers for software. However I do think that it is a child window problem. All of my windows painting programs that hold another window inside themselves as a canvas do not have pressure sensitivity under wine. Windows drawing programs that have the canvas as a part of the program window instead such as ArtRage 2.5 have full pressure sensitivity for me. I have tested out the default wine installation and the 1.0-rc3, Pixia, OpenCanvas, ArtRage and Corel Photopaint. I had not thought to look for that simaliarity before reading this bug.

I used to have pressure sensitivity in Pixia and OpenCanvas 1.1 in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (when that installation package was new), but I hadn't been running any updates, and I had done some tweaking with the wine installation, I think I just compiled it from source, but I have forgotten. (Compiling (./configure, make, etc.) vs. package installation doesn't change the behavior of the current versions.) Unfortunately I upgraded to Hardy Heron, and broke it. I then assumed that the problem was with Ubuntu, however, I believe now that this bug is on a closer track with the problem.

Bug #151448 is one I created back when I found the last key that I believed fixed the problem when I was running Feisty. I think it should be closed or linked to this bug. I appologize for my poor bug ettiquette, I'm learning, but slowly.
