The compiz "Annotate" and "Screenshot" plugins provide a way to do this *if*
you're running compiz-fusion. Default keybindings: Alt-Super-button1 to
draw things, Alt-Super-K to clear the screen. CCSM->Extras->Annotate to
change them. There are probably similar ways to do this in Beryl. I didn't
ever see anything like this for non-3D WM/DEs, even though at least one
person on comp.os.linux.* asked about it in the last 2 years. Problem: It's
insanely difficult to input text in this manner.

I hear you about graphics tablets, but mice may be even worse. Oh well, HTH,
