Yeah, the Gimp picks that up - and contrary to the linuxwacom web page's 
assertion, the current release of Gimp understands tilt as well (when 
applied through the calligraphy tool).

One nice use (in conjunction with an online meeting tool) is something 
that behaves a lot more like a whiteboard.  It's so difficult to "write" 
with a mouse.  If I were still teaching, this would be a great way to 
handle drawing diagrams for the class.
