Hi Frank. I did a small test program and found that you can change the
viewflags of a certain edit area to don't allow gestures in that area. The
problem is that we also loose the scrub-out eraser thing.
If you tell me which program exactly is she using for drawing, maybe I can
modify it and add a eraser button or something.

here's the test program if you're interested:
