wacom bamboo stops working after unplugging

to solve this (to get it working as a graphic tablet again without restarting X) just switch from X11 to Console (press Ctrl + Alt + F1 together then release them) and then switch back to X11 (press Ctrl + Alt + F7 together then release them).
Then the graphic tablet works as before unplugging!
