I know you said you found using the terminal too complicated, but I just wanted to make sure you saw the xsetwacom and Wacom consumer tablet ExpressKey instructions at http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Consumer_Tablet_ExpressKey_Mapping_Issue
You want to do something like:
xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Pad pad" Button 1 "key esc"
xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Pad pad" Button 3 "key F11"
xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Pad pad" Button 8 "key ctrl alt t"
xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Pad pad" Button 9 "key p"
after running xsetwacom --list to get the name of the device in the first set of quotes.
The button numbers (1,3,8,9) will most likely be out of order.
