Hi Benjamin,

Sorry for late reply.

Ok, the main change I experienced after installing is xsetwacom 
listing the ID name of the device with twice the name Stylus on 
"UGTABLET 24 inch PenDisplay Stylus stylus". Before it was only 
"UGTABLET 24 inch PenDisplay stylus".

$ xsetwacom --list
UGTABLET 24 inch PenDisplay Stylus stylus       id: 10  type: STYLUS 

Not a big deal, but I thought it was worth to mention it.

Thank you for the detailed steps. True, it makes sens once 
practising it. I made the gesture three time on:

No problem for continue testing, I'm around! Thank you again 
for improving the behavior of the tablets.

Cheers,
