Might be a different bug, but yeah, might require more investigation.

I reluctantly go for 3), that break my personal use case of having hand on the 
mouse to pan, and stylus to draw. But to be honest that hack is the third 
version, and until Qt get fixed (ie until we find someone who understand X11 
code), it is better to go without it.

I can test/review the patch for 3 (if I find where the art pen is ;) ).
