Hello there.
I think I might (conditional) have found a solution.
It needs some workaround but isn’t that difficult.
You know, I am no expert too, but i do like to try things on my own.
Let’s do it step by step.
I am on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 64 bit
First of all as previously reported, be sure to install gnome-control-center
Then let’s modify the file /usr/share/applications/gnome-control-center.desktop
Open a terminal (I use Terminator) and type sudo pluma /usr/share/applications/gnome-control-center.desktop
On line number 9 (In my case is line number 9 but it might be different, depending on how the system si configured), be sure to add MATE; so that the line will appear as follow --> OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;MATE;
I tested it on my laptop and tried to launch gnome-control-center from CLI
THAT WASN’T ENOUGH. The Icon simply didn’t appear.
I started to search around my system and i found out there is another file that has to be modified.
So, Save this and close Pluma.
Go back to your terminal and type —> sudo pluma /usr/share/applications/gnome-wacom-panel.desktop
You will notice, probably, that in the line number 11 (always referring to my system) there is this specification --> OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;Mate;
Change the “Mate;” in “MATE;”
so that this line too will appear like this --> OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;MATE;
Save and close Pluma editor
Now from CLI try to run gnome-control-center again. Be sure to do that as normal user and not admin. In my case if i do launch it as superuser the icon still doesn’t pop up. But it does if i run it as normal user.
Let me know if this is somehow of any help cause it actually worked for me.
Now i can play around with my Intuos Art Small.
At least at a basic level. It works with any graphic desing app (Gimp, Inkscape, Mypaint, Krita)
It still need some work for mapping physical buttons on the tablet itself and i am reading around to make them usable too.
Also the double screen setting still make my gnome-control-center crash 
I really hope it will work for you too 
If so, happy I could be of help.
PS i read a lot of forums but i hardly post because of time problem. So sorry about this too
