This seems to be based on an earlier version of my wacomrotate daemon:

http://github.com/thjaeger/wacomrotate/tree/master
http://ppa.launchpad.net/thjaeger/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wacomrotate/

I've added rudimentary auto-detection of available wacom devices since
then, maybe you want to add this to your program. The reason is that
USB tablets need to have xsetwacom called for both their "touch" device
and their "stylus" device in order for touch screen input to be properly
rotated.
