In Ubuntu (and Debian I guess), there is no 50-udev.rules file. Instead, it appears that I should put my desired permission settings in 40-permissions.rules. I added the following at the end to get it working, which is very close to what you suggested.
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
The only problem is that now I have a different problem (which may or may not be related ..) : when I boot the computer with the tablet plugged in, I don't have a mouse. Even before I added the line to 40-permissions.rules , I had to unplug and replug the tablet in once linux was running. Only now I have to make sure it is unplugged, or else not use a the trackpad until reboot.
Anyways, thanks for helping.
One step at a time,
Rich

You could try appending MODE=0666 to the line pertaining the event*
devevices in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules, so the line reads:
KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE=0666
This should create the event devices with perms 0666 or rw-rw-rw, the
10-wacom.rules only instructs udev to create the wacom device as a
symlink to the actual event it is detected as, so this should work, at
least in theory.
