Ah, I see. I thought the tools would be created only once. Is it really 
necessary to have the whole set of tools for each inputdevice? Would it be 
much more convenient if you have the same tool setting on each inputdevice (I 
don't have a tablet, do know if this is feasible with a tablet)?
Also this could be problematic if we want to share the tools across views.
