+I've been submitting a lot of patches to GDK recently,
+trying to get some of our Windows tablet bugs fixed up.
+The good news is that I think we're turning the corner on
+reliability over there.
+Tilt should be working soon for fancy devices like the Intuos 5,
+and I've fixed a pair of really nasty crashers for non-Wacom devices.
+There was also a silly regression that caused
+pressure to be ignored depending on
+whether your tablet had an odd ID or an even one
+(don't ask, but I'm hoping we'll be able to close
+a ton of our own bug reports before long).

+I'm really happy about this.
+It's my first proper foray into dealing with the
+incompatible nonsense values that real hardware sends,
+and it's nice to be actually be pushing back the tide for once.
