SUMMARY
***
I wanted to suggest having a feature in the tablet KCM to turn off the graphic that appears to indicate the stylus position on the screen. I think sometimes, this graphic can get in the way. I think sometimes users want to work through touch and there are very few people who don't touch the screen with a stylus before they interact with the screen.
The graphic helps appears before users touch the screen and I don't see a lot of value there. However, I know it's good for a few people so that's why I wanted to suggest having this as an option and not the default.

Now that Nico has implemented proper cursor support in Qt, we can start thinking about this. This is sort of a dumb question, but I don't really get your original description. Could you fill me in with more details of why someone would want the cursor gone? Is it just the crosshair cursor, or do they want the cursor gone entirely when using the stylus?
