Bug Description

I tried different INKSCAPE versions. None of them work.
Although Pressure Support works perfectly for Xfig and GIMP on the same machine.

I am using a Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (KERNEL: 3.2.0-67-generic).
The Tablet I am using is a Wacom Intuos pen small (MODEL: CTL-480/S)

Unlikely, that report is for the Windows port of Inkscape (many of the known issues with tablets differ a lot depending on GTK+ backend / OS /desktop). Based on the provided information (Ubuntu 12.04), I'd guess it's another duplicate of
- Bug #790130 “no pressure sensitivity with wacom tablet in inkscape”

@Hauke - you could test whether it's the same known issue by launching inkscape from the terminal like this:

$ LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 inkscape

This will disable Ubuntu's custom scrollbars which are known to prevent pressure sensitivity with tablets in inkscape.

I have the same problem, pressure sensitivity not working.
I can fix it by removing the "overlay-scrollbar" package from my system (which is OK with me, I'm not a big fan of overlay scrollbars anyway). But in a certain sense it's a kind of bug in Inkscape, no?
Ubuntu 15.04, Inkscape 0.91
