Today I tried xournal again with "Use XInput" deactivated (following your suggestion above) and now most things seem to work almost as on Feisty/Gutsy, except that the drawings aren't smooth as you already noted.

I also checked against my Feisty installation of xournal (0.3.3) and there the "Use XInput" option is not enabled by default. In fact, the corresponding menu entry is grey/deactivated. Since I don't have a tablet PC I can't check whether it would work with the pen.

So I think 90% of this bug (at least #1 and #3) could be fixed by just not making "Use XInput" the default or somehow have this depend on whether xournal runs on a tablet PC or not. Just moving away .xournal does btw. not help on my installation.

What remains are the slightly square-edged drawings and the eraser problem. I can considerably improve on the latter by choosing "Tools/Eraser Options/Standard". "Delete Strokes" on the other hand leads to the very strange behaviour mentioned above under #2.
