Wacom Pen Buttons

Hi, I'm using Gimp 2.6.0 for Windows with a Wacom Cintiq 12WX graphical tablet. Whenever I press one of the buttons on the Wacom pen it comes up with the right-click file,edit etc. menu and the other button moves the canvas around. I keep hitting them by mistake and would like to disable this.

When I try to configure the "configure extended input devices" box in the preferences window it lists only x,y,pressure,x tilt, y tilt and wheel and the "keys" tab is completely blank. Even when I disable the buttons through the driver application Gimp still seems to detect them.

Can anyone help me find a way to disable this?

You need to set it up within GIMP. It's under preferences, I think.

When I try to configure the "configure extended input devices" box in the preferences window it lists only x,y,pressure,x tilt, y tilt and wheel for the WACOM Tablet Pressure Stylus and the "keys" tab is completely blank. Is this where the option is supposed to be?

Is there a file containing the preferences settings that I can manually edit in a text editor to change the default settings or something?

Hi,
forums@gimpusers.com (2008-10-23 at 1342.25 +0200):

Long time since I had a Wacom in MSWindows, but I remember the driver had a tool to configure what each button did (send MB2, send double click of MB1, disable, etc). Maybe that is still provided so look into what Wacom installed at the operating system level, not just GIMP config options. Personally I found the extra buttons useful, so just started holding the pen with the button near finger tip but not touched... similar idea to old fountain pens, they have a single holding position. ;]
