Quoting Alexander Macdonald who wrote this app: "I've written my tablet-apps programs to read the pressure and tilt data using gtk so as long as aiptek devices appear as standard Xinput tablets and work in things like the gimp they should already be supported."
I think there are two things going on.
First is the reading of values. We're using GTK calls also, so it should work everywhere.
Second is the setting of response curves and such. That's where the low-level config and tricks come in. In fact, I believe that to pull that off he uses an external invocation of xsetwacom.
