UPDATE New version is currently underway. I so far have better tablet detection, the new features of xsetwacom implemented, Intuos4 OLEDs working with both images, text and animations and application profiles that automatically switch the button configuration. Please hang in there everyone, I know the current version up here sucks and this overhaul is long overdue. Check back in a month or two.
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH UBUNTU 11.04
I will fix the compatibility issues when I have the time to do so.
You can now easily configure a wacom tablet on linux!
This utility allows you to:
- Automatically detect and configure a wide range of wacom products
- Set custom key commands or mouse buttons to a tablet's shortcut buttons
- Set custom pressure curve on each of the tablet's input devices
- Automatically remembers and reapplies settings on startup
- At present, serial and bluetooth tablets are not yet supported. If it doesn't work for you, submit a comment on here so I can fix it.
- More features coming!

However this is easily fixed in GIMP. Instead of setting the preferences to Screen, set them to Window! It's best to have the canvas maximised as your mouse and your brush will now act independently of one another. That means when your mouse goes off the canvas, you can no longer use your brush off the edges. With the canvas maximised however, you can get to the very edges of the canvas!
I love you, thanks for this!

is it possible to imagine as the windows-graphical-utility a way to manage not the entire area of the Wacom but just a portion ?
because your utility is a GTK-interface of the "xsetwacom" command-line, i've let you some exemples of settings with screenshots: 'would be just awsome.
and Great work by the way.

Open a file manager window as root (in gnome this is gksu nautilus). Find the deb package, right click and open in archive manager. Double click 'data', and it opens another file browser, click the '.', then usr, share, and extract the contents of applications to your /usr/share/applications folder. And extract the wacom-utility to /usr/share/wacom-utility.
That should install it as an application on your computer.
You can also just extract the wacom-utility folder to your desktop (not as root) and double click wacom_utility.py and click run.show.php%3

I've fixed the issue with button mapping on your tablet though. Let me know if you still have any problems.34

I only have an intuos 3 and the 4 is a very different tablet.
Send me an email at hughescih at hotmail dot com, and I'll send you a package to try out.

I gave the package a shot and the tablet was detected, but the button settings (the main thing I wanted to try out) couldn't be changed, no matter what I put in, the main window still said the same (button one - left click etc.)
I figured I might have to reboot my computer for it to take effect, so I did... Which resulted in X not starting up at all, instead the computer just froze on me. I then restored Xorg to default via restore options accessed through GRUB and X works again, but tablet stayed as it was, buttons don't do anything useful.
I should point out however that my graphics card seems to be a bit defective (I described it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1513913), so perhaps this wasn't even your application's fault. Anyway, I'll try again and see what happens, now that I know how to fix X :p
Thanks again for your effort ^^size-adj

If that's not the problem then can you go to a terminal and run 'python /usr/share/wacom-utility/wacom_utility.py' (without the quotes).
Try and set your buttons, then close the program by pressing the 'close' button in the bottom right.
Copy and paste the entire output in the terminal into here.
Thanks.`

So, I started it through terminal and found out it uses xsetwacom... I've been trying to use that before, but it never worked. I tried re-installing xserver-xorg-input-wacom package and now setting button 1 to "ALT" worked :) It still didn't show in the app tho and setting buttons to work as mouse buttons didn't work either. Mouse button options just seem to set it to copy other buttons. Left click sets it to Button1, right click to Button2, etc.
On a side note, editing pressure seems to work nicely with both, the cursor and eraser.
Oh and here's the output..

It's not my app, it's a bug in xf86-input-wacom, the package that installs xsetwacom.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom/+bug/560180
This is an active bug and a fix should be released soon by the devs. I have tested the maverick (10.10) version, and had no luck with that right now, but the bug report does indicate a fix is out there.4%26&

On a side note, since the buttons can be set to alt and such, is it possible to set 2 keys to one button? For example, I want Button 9 to do a "ctrl + z". I tried "xsetwacom set 'Wacom Intuos4 8x13 pad' Button9 'CORE KEY CTRL + Z'" but it didn't work...
