Sounds like they function alright.

My new kernel works.  Your program worked just fine with my Tablet as did my 
old test program (I would have given it to you as well, but I wasn't sure 
what state I had left it in).  I'm using sip 4.1.1, PyQt 3.13 and Qt 3.3.3.  
There must be something else awry :(

I'm not sure what you would check off the top of my head.  You can always 
modify the Qt code with something obvious to find out if it has support for 
the tablet.  Check the #ifdef's etc.

I suppose it's possible.  What version of Qt are you running?  If you want, I 
can test your C++ program as well, but chances are your python one will work 
just fine once you figure out what's going on.
