The standard Gtk approach is to use "motion hints"; unfortunately they appear to be broken for extended input devices (e.g. tablets) in some widely available versions of Gtk.

What are these hints, and how can they help visualize the changing path when you drag a node? I'd think it's not possible without actually drawing this path in some way, which only Inkscape can do (and does, typically with minimum or no lad, though without updating repr during drag).
