Can I change Wacom Bamboo touch settings?

I have a Wacom Bamboo Touch tablet connected to my Ubuntu computer, and there are two annoyances:

The touchpad-mouse cursor is much too sensitive, making it impossible to click anything.

Two-finger touch (scroll) has a delay of ~ half a second before scrolling. How do I remove this?

I've looked around a lot and basically there is no GUI control panel at all. When you enter:

xsetwacom --list parameters

You get a lot of parameters that can be changed, but the only thing that seems to relate to touch is turning it on or off:

xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Finger touch" Touch off

It looks like the initial lag / delay we're experiencing when trying to scroll using the two finger scroll gesture is due to a bug in xf86-input-wacom.

The parameter for controlling the scroll threshold is not exposed at all. Version 0.27.0 of xf86-input-wacom should be fixed (fix was pushed in September of this year). Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is still running 0.23.0.

Read http://sourceforge.net/p/linuxwacom/bugs/218/ for more details.

With regard to your touchpad sensitivity question I have no answer.
