Quoting from upstream, here is a patch that should solve remaining issues after one installs the fix suggested in Bug #195953. So please install new wacom tools locally as suggested by first post there, and test the following patch if you can. I can't do this until 7th of april which is too late because I have to travel in the meantime.

Here's a patch for xournal 0.4.1 which should fix the Xorg 7.3 XInput
issues (or at least most of them). (To recover subpixel resolution one
still needs to upgrade X.org and linuxwacom to the latest versions).

The patch affects src/xo-callbacks.c only. It's also included in the
sourceforge CVS for xournal.

If you could please test that the patch works for you, and provided it
does, also contact the Ubuntu package maintainer to ask them to include
it into the Hardy package, that would be great. Thanks a lot!

(To check: drawing with all combinations of XInput enabled/disabled,
"Discard core events" enabled/disabled, both with the mouse and with
the tablet pen, should produce acceptable results. With the tablet
pen, XInput enabled, and upgraded linuxwacom + X.org, the strokes should
be as smooth as in the older distributions (better resolution than that
of the screen).
