Description:

On gnome-shell-3.30.0, when in gnome on Xorg, using a wacom pen (hovering is sufficent) crashes gnome. Sometimes, it directly restarts the desktop environment, and other times, it logs out.

Additional info:
* gnome-shell, gdm on version 3.30
* gnome on wayland, cinnamon and earlier versions of gnome-shell don't have this issue.
* bug noticed on a thinkpad x201t
* touchscreen works normally


Steps to reproduce:

-Open gnome on Xorg from gdm
-Hover wacom pen over screen
This task depends upon

I had the same issue with a Wacom Intuos Touch & Pen. Today's update of libwacom seems to have solved the issue for me.

[2018-09-26 19:35] [ALPM] upgraded libwacom (0.30-1 -> 0.31-1)

I confirm that the update also seemingly solved the issue for me, and that the wacom pen functions correctly.
