Description Bastien Nocera 2009-03-17 23:30:03 UTC 
As mentioned in bug 575767, wacom tablets can be added on-the-fly. GIMP needs to be restarted to take advantage of newly plugged in devices.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2009-03-18 08:24:08 UTC 
Device hotplug needs to be handled at the GDK level. GTK+ should provide signals when new devices are added or removed.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2009-03-23 23:56:46 UTC 
Peter has a patch showing how to detect devices being added/removed:

I'm planning to work on this as part of MPX/XI2 support, I've got some more info in http://live.gnome.org/GTK+/MPX/
Comment 4 Carlos Garnacho 2009-09-29 11:42:32 UTC 
I've just opened bug #596725 to track the XInput2 changes, as this feature is already available in the xi2 branch, I'll mark this bug as depending on that one
