A huge OK by me.

It's a Wacom Intuos4 in size A5, around 300

Since the GIMP account is full of money, and I don't use it for anything else that hacking GIMP, I'd like to get it sponsored.

It's a Wacom Intuos4 in size A5, around 300€, since that supports all the stuff we want to support and is not a piece of garbage.

For what is worth my opinion, I aggree.

OK from me, of course.

I feel entitled to OK this, because I've triggered many (most?) of the recent transactions involving GIMP money :)

Helping developers to work on GIMP *is* on of the purposes of that money.

I can also send the mail to the GNOME treasurer to trigger the reimbursement for your tablet, if you'd feel weird about requesting the money yourself.

Should you feel guilty about withdrawing money for something you may benefit from personally, then I'd suggest that you mentor in a future GSoC and let the mentor org share of the stipend rest in the GIMP funds ;)

This implies there have been regressions *hint hint*

and in order to make sure GTK3 does what it should together with GIMP, I need a graphics tablet.

Fine with me.

Exactly how much money do we have by the way?

What's the problem? I use my Wacom Fun tablet all the time with trunk.

Good idea! Nice tablet. Now I have tablet envy!

Sounds like a plan [although the mentor share of the funds don't go anywhere else. :-)]

Trunk isn't GTK3 yet. But there are plenty of tablet bugs littering GTK2 as well. I'm hoping that when he has the tablet, those might get uprooted too :). There are several major know issues with tablet use right now. a) save dialogs don't work with the tablet pen b) the core device stops working when there is an extended device present, so no mouse when the tablet is cinnected c) the on canvas text widget is only so much hot air for the tablet pen.

Yes, there are some bugs around, and some significant ones when it comes to hotplugging, etc. that need a more unified approach to fix for Windows and OS X too.

I've been working on such from the Inkscape, Linux and OS X sides of things, and it would be good to coordinate a bit on the fixing.
