Hi Alexandre,

I have a Wacom tablet and the pen had an eraser on the other end from the stylus.  If I spin the pen around, 
it gives me an eraser with the correct size and dynamics (+1 gimp!). However:
- the palm rejection on the tablet often skips while the pen is being spun in my hand, so I can end up in a 
changed window, screen or activity (I am on Linux); and
- the GIMP's interface doesn't seem as responsive to the eraser as to the stylus.
