Thanks for the input!  Making Ipe usable on tablets was one of the 
design aspects when I rewrote Ipe 7 - which explains the freehand mode 
and the hooks in the code for the eraser functions - but so far I didn't 
get any feedback on that.

One problem is that I do not have a functioning tablet right now, and 
the tablet-specific Qt-functions do nothing without a tablet.  But I'll 
try to look at it next time I work on Ipe (which is probably not soon, 
as the semester is just starting).

Cheers,
