Description Phil Wherry 2004-05-02 03:58:24 UTC 
Essentially any use of the pen (versus the mouse) on a machine running Windows
XP Tablet Edition causes an assertion window to pop up and/or a program crash. 

For example, acknowledging the tip-of-the-day window results in:

(gimp-2.0.exe:3616): Gdk-WARNING **: losing last reference to undestroyed window
(gimp-2.0.exe:3616): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1320 (g_obje
ct_ref): assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed
(gimp-2.0.exe:3616): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1338 (g_obje
ct_unref): assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed
(gimp-2.0.exe:3616): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1338 (g_obje
ct_unref): assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed

Once the pen has been used, the application is unstable and/or unusable with pen
or mouse. The application will frequently crash completely as soon as the
assertion box displays.

Tablet support on Win32 is known to be broken. Disable it using the
--ignore-wintab command-line option and/or help Tor to fix the problem.
