Hi whitis, thanks for the detailed bug report. This particular bug has
been reported before as https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1297692.
Glad you found the PPA and yes, newer versions of Onboard have a
workaround for this issue.

Concerning multi-touch, Onboard needs to receive TouchBegin/TouchUpdate/TouchEnd events for that to work. It cannot be done with devices that only generate ButtonPress/MotionNotify/ButtonRelease events. Wacom touch screens are configured to do the latter by default, behaving basically like plain old mice, but you can make yours generate touch events by turning off gesture support. See also

Something like (insert your touch screen name or numeric id returned by "xinput")
xsetwacom --set "Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch" Gesture off
then restart Onboard.

If it doesn't work at first, please reboot once and retry.
