Martian, the problem just occurred to me while sitting at the university library today, so I threw up a quick post thinking that would be the fastest way to get an answer, and that you would likely be first (and hey, I was right!).
Unfortunately, I left my netbook at work, and so I won't be able to work on this problem more until Wednesday.
No, ASU, I am not using a stylus. Some of the Linux replacements for OneNote I found only allowed for a stylus exclusively, which eliminates them from the running.
