Gnome graphics tablet applets

For anyone using a Wacom or similar graphics tablet in gnome I've released two handy apps you might want to try out. The first is a control center applet that allows you to switch between absolute and relative modes of input and also adjust the pressure curve and click force. The second is a small panel applet that shows how much pressure is currently being applied with whatever pen is in use.

Check out the project here (http://alexmac.cc/tablet-apps) or a take a quick look at a pretty screenshot here (http://alexmac.cc/tablet-apps/tablet-prefs.png).

Finnaly someone takes a initiative!

The wacom tablet has been left behind when everything else is headed towards a user friendly gui. There is a lot of options for my Volito 2 tablet, but everything needs to be adjusted in xorg.conf, so it's nice to see someone taking an interest in a gui for these settings.
A big round of applause!

But for some unknown reason I can't adjust the device pressure yet (one of the only things implemented so far). But I'm looking forward to future releases. I would like to see a function where the application search all the input events and adjust xorg.conf accordingly.
