Please describe the problem:
When I open a new drawing surface and begin using any tool with a tablet device,
the tool works just fine including movement and pressure and tilt. However, the
tablet pointer only works inside the drawing area and it won't effect anything
outside the window including the desktop environment (regardless of what it is.
Tested: Enlightenment and KDE). It also will not effect the menu bar or anything
other than the drawable surface itself. In fact, the only thing you can do is
CTRL-Q to quit GIMP (or any other keyboard shorcut since the UI doesn't respond
to the tablet pen anymore). This only happens after you start drawing with the
pen on the surface though. All the windows and widgets respond just fine until
the pen actually touches down on the drawing surface. After that, it's useless
outside of it. Nothing releases it accept by "breaking" it with a keyboard
shortcut (ALT-F to open the file menu also works). Also note that the pen
buttons don't work either once the pen tip touches down. They do work before it
touches down.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start GIMP as usual
2. Create a new drawing or open an old one (doesn't matter)
3. Using the tablet pen, start drawing with any tool on the drawing surface.


Actual results:
Pointer only effects the drawing surface, not any external windows, menus,
window manager / desktop environment, or even the scales on the sides of
drawable surface.

Expected results:
You should be able to switch tools or click/focus other windows, or at least
interact with the window manager. 

Does this happen every time?
Yes
