I doubt it, at least I haven't heard about this issue earlier. Tablet
PCs aren't exactly common either.

A somewhat related issue is support for accessibility on Windows.
Those technologies also don't work with the GTK+ widgets.
Accessibility issues are made more complex by some drastic changes in
the technologies/APIs in Vista. On the other hand I got the impression
when I last browsed the web about these issues that not all assistive
technology vendors are that eager to embrace the new accessibility
APIs in Vista.

That is related to the Wintab API used with drawing tablets (Wacoms
etc), not Tablet PCs.
