[Qt-interest] detecting tablet pen rocker buttons in Qt 4 Linux

[Jeffery MacEachern]

Does the tablet still work properly on the same computer with other
applications, such as GIMP?  For that matter, can you tell me which
tablet model, driver/Xorg version, and distro (and distro version)
you're using?  They can sometimes be a bit fiddly to set up, and I
have some small experience in the matter.

Cheers,
