By using the xidump tool distributed with wacom-tools I could get
confirmation that the issue is that pressure also implies touch
(i.e. first button down). Now what I need to know if I have to disable
this kind of behavior at the kernel level or at the X driver level,
or if it's a X server issue (like the coordinate scaling) that should
be addressed at the server level, or if it's a client issue (they're
somehow supposed to know they should ignore button 1 clicks when 
looking for pressure).

Anybody has any idea? How do other tables handle this?
