Bug Description

Tablet buttons are default (not configured at all)

For GIMP:

1) set stylus, eraser, cursor and pad to screen mode

2) draw a line with brush, notice success

3) start drawing a line and press one of the 8 buttons on Intuos4, brush movement stops immediately

4) if stylus mode is set to relative mode via command *xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 6x9 stylus" mode "Relative"* and one of the 8 buttons on Intuos4 is pressed then the pressure sensitivity will stop working properly also (brush will constantly look same as if it was pressed down hard)

For MyPaint (problem only in relative mode):

1) pen input is set to screen mode

2) stylus mode is set to relative mode via command *xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 6x9 stylus" mode "Relative"*

3) start drawing a line and press one of the 8 buttons on Intuos4, the brush sensitivity will break immediately (brush will look as if it was pressed down hard); brush is also "stuck" (meaning: won't stop drawing on the screen even if stylus does not touch the Intuos4 surface anymore)

Also while stylus is set to relative mode, once the bug is triggered in gimp it will "carry on" to mypaint and vice-versa (broken sens in gimp <--> broken sens + "stuck" in mypaint) and I can only stop it if I click on desktop background with my mouse.
