Bug Description

Tablet pens commonly have buttons on them; this is useful for things like right click. Hold the button down and tap should produce a right click event in GNOME. It currently (Edgy Beta) does not by default. After adding the comand "xsetwacom set stylus button2 3" to my startup programs, it works as expected.

This seems like a very useful configuration for wacom Tablet PC users that isn't enabled by default. I don't know where the best place to fix this is, but wacom-tools seems like a good start. Additionally, I can't say how this would affect users of tablets that aren't integrated into a laptop.
