SUMMARY
The mark desktop effect does not work with the pen of a drawing tablet.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Activate Mark desktop effect
2. Verify it work with the mouse (if you have one)
3. Verify it work with the drawing tablet "touch pad"
4. Verify it work with the drawing tablet pen

OBSERVED RESULT
Does not work with the pen.

EXPECTED RESULT
Works with the pen, as the pen can act like a mouse and the pen is a better tool for drawing, and better for the wrist than a mouse.
All 'mouse like' input method should be working with the effect.

Alternatively, it could be nice to be able to select which input works.
