Switch to eraser tool if graphic tablet's eraser tip is used.

[Bernhard Reiter]

I'd like to ask for inkscape to automatically switch to the eraser tool if I'm using my graphic tablet's (Wacom Intuos4) stylus' eraser tip (and back to the previously selected tool when I turn back to using the stylus tip), as e.g. Xournal already does if "Options > Eraser tip" is selected.

Did you try the preference setting for tool switching?
'File > Inkscape Preferences > Mouse > [x] Switch tool based on tablet device'

Yup, the "Switch tool based on tablet device" setting did the trick -- thanks! (using 0.47pre4r22446 Built Oct 15 2009, btw)
Anyway, I'd probably agree with https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/276814/comments/3
I'm forwarding your advice to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276814

Not sure about Bug #170689, though.
