I'd like to, but i see no attached images ! Where can i find them ?
I see no image in the message, and no link to them.

Good to know that the developpers know about that. I know there are plans to move to GTK3, maybe that'll 
solve the issue.

I'd like to see that screenshot !

Understood. I will burn an iso for the new LTS version. But nevertheless, I've started gimp on that old 
ubuntu, and i had more input devices than on Windows...

I'm going to look at wacom forums too...
