Hi, I can't reproduce this at all. Setting different tools for stylus, eraser and plain old optical USB mouse works exactly as expected. If I bring the pen into proximity, the stylus or eraser tools are selected, if I move the mouse, its tool is selected. Seems to be perfectly repeatable.
So I guess if you want something done about this, you are going to have to identify the problem a bit better, or hope someone else can. I'd suggest you contact the linuxwacom list, and provide some more precise details to the people there (like what type of tablet you have, what exactly the version of wacom_drv that works for you is, what mode you use it in gimp with, the wacom relevant portions of how you configured xorg etc.) to see if anyone else recognises this. I'm on that list so no need to cc' me, but from the details here I'm not going to be able to answer even the simplest query about your setup or how to reproduce the problem, so it will be best if you engage everyone directly. Re upgrades, if you want a package to not update when you do one then you'll need to put it on hold. If you don't do that there is nothing random about it being updated again when you do a system upgrade.
