One thing you might want to play with is the hotkey settings. I know I found some things in GIMP that weren't all that intuitive to me as their defaults. Your tablet issues might be the same way.
Tablets are awesome, in my opinion. Once you get used to it (which doesn't usually take long, especially once you get used to the fact that the tablet maps to the screen, so the left edge of the tablet = the left edge of the screen), you'll be hard-pressed to go back to a mouse!
