I've seen this before, but not for Kmail so what I'm going to say may be
totally wrong. If you look in your xorg.conf you should see 3 lines near
the end that relate to the wacom drivers, these need to be commented out.

#       InputDevice     "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" 
#       InputDevice     "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" 
#       InputDevice     "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"

I've no idea why they've been automatically added as the only time they'll
be needed is really if you've got a lap top.
