Currently Federico's code makes use of the xsetwacom tool instead of using Xinput (which is what we need). I'm very familiar with the gnome-settings-daemon code and, if there's enough interest at Canonical, I'm available to work on it but I don't own any Ntrig touchscreen and I can't use my Stantum tablet because it doesn't work with xinput Calibration. Let me know.
