Yes i did, in fact there are 3 entries:
Core pointer (my mouse)
Wacom Tablet Eraser
Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus

Doesn't matter if i start Gimp with the mouse, stylus, airbrush... I get these 3.
Notice that the airbrush isn't in there. But both the Eraser and Stylus have a "Roulette:rien" line under the 
"Axes" table
I guess i should find some "WACOM Tablet Airbrush" line on the left for the airbrush ? And choosing that 
would lead to having a "Roulette" entry under the "Axes" table ? So does it mean that the driver isn't 
presenting the full array of available pens to GIMP ?

Well, i am surely looking at the stylus, but not at the mouse, that's for sure. In fact I choose "Eraser" or 
"Stylus" to get to see that list with the wheel.

Oh ? I didn't find anything... Don't worry i get the idea of what it should have looked like !

Understood ! In fact i already have an old Ubuntu Karmic Koala somewhere on another hard drive. I'll boot on 
that later.

Well, why not, but since this info might help someone else on the forum, I don't mind carrying on in English.
