Hi Brian,

I was not fully happy with XRmouse and xbut...

I started writing a little X app xpsitouch, that handles the mouse
pointer swapping, and the Psion toolbars on the sides of the LCD.
It mostly works now, maybe I can post it for testing later on today
when I come back home, or on Sunday...

It allows you to set keycodes to swap the mouse pointer (like you are
doing with xmodmap), and bounces back to pointer 1 after a delay, like
1 second. 

It also activates the toolbars, and calls a shell script 
with the toolbar command mappings.

I think I'll use the + and - part on the left toolbar for toggling the 
mouse pointer with the pen:

+ Use pointer 1 (Mapped to the + button on the left toolbar)

  Switch to pointer 2 for 1sec or so (Mapped to the striped area
  between + and - on the left toolbar.)

- Switch to pointer 3 for 1sec or so (Mapped to the - button on the
  left toolbar)
