Hi, I'm a Krita user too, and we actually have the same tablet :)

Same problem, but I believe is a wacom driver issue, the wheel is very jerky 
with any app I use except on Windows :/

you can bind the tablet buttons to keyboard keys with the xsetwacom command 
and use existing shortcuts with the tablet, it isn't the best solution but is 
better than nothing, so you can run in the konsole..

xsetwacom set pad button1 "core key ctrl z"
xsetwacom set pad button2 "core key shift ctrl z"

for use the undo functions with the tablet, or         

xsetwacom set pad button3 "core key b"
xsetwacom set pad button4 "core key p"

for fast switch between the brush and the color picker
those are just the binds I use, you can set them to other keys, I also have 

xsetwacom set stylus button3 "core key space"

for pan around by just using the stylus, you need to put those commands in a 
bash script, and put the script in your ~/.kde/Autostart folder because on 
the next boot it will be forgotten.
