This is really so weird... I'm not sure where the problem is. Maybe we should do a donation drive so I can get a cintiq :P

Yes, there is one. It's pretty good and I use it a lot. But it's not perfect yet, and it isn't part of the default installation of KDE. But I've approached the author to see how we can get there.
