Follow-up Comment #1, bug #20302 (project mypaint):

I have added Aiptek to the list of known tablets. Please tell if you know of
more names that we should add. I'm not happy that we have to maintain a list,
neither.

For reference, the list is here:

https://gitorious.org/mypaint/mypaint/blobs/master/gui/application.py#line448

MyPaint is supposed to just work (including pressure) at first startup, not
ask the user "this logitech receiver device might be a tablet, do you want to
enable it? It may break random things if you do." You start this program to
paint, not to read about GTK+ bugs that may or may not affect you.

If you want to make a more friendly way to enable un-detected tablets
permanently, for example in the preferences, you're of course welcome to
submit a patch. But I think the current way of detecting tablets with
whitelist/blacklist is the best we can do given how GTK+ 2.x behaves. (Maybe
it will be better once we switch to GTK+ 3.x.)
