Cursor moved by Wacom tablet does not evoke hidden Unity bar

[Gordon Fitch]

I am writing on an Eee PC, therefore, small screen. Unity pane/bar is normally hidden and is supposed to pop out when cursor is moved to left end of screen. This works with the pad as expected. However, when I have a Wacom tablet (ET-0405-U) hooked up via USB, and move the cursor with the tablet stylus, the bar does not appear; I have to use the pad. I am not sure where the problem is, but I am guessing it's the Wacom driver.

I don't have a WACOM tablet to test. Could you say if this is still causing an issue?

[Gordon Fitch (gcf)]

I tried the Wacom 'Intuos Pen Small' CTL-480 hooked up to a
Dell Vostro 220 running Ubuntu 14.04, and moving the cursor
to the left edge of the screen did not bring out the Unity
panel, where as the USB mouse I'm using did. I can test this
with the Asus Eee running 12.04 if desired, etc.
