  Mutter doesn't apply gsettings appropriately to Wacom tablet on Xorg,
  but Wayland works

Bug description:
  I have a Wacom Intuos VT M tablet in a setting with two monitors
  (laptop + external). Under an up-to-date Ubuntu Focal running X, if I
  map the tablet to a single monitor it fails to map it more often than
  not. A reliable way of getting failure is first connecting the tablet
  via bluetooth and then via USB. The only way to revert to a correct
  behavior is reseting X (ALT+F2 r). This is necessary even after
  rebooting.

  I've noticed that, when not working well, the problem is that Mutter
  sends the mapping data to the "Wacom Intuos BT M Pad pad" device,
  while it should be sending them to "Wacom Intuos BT M Pad stylus"
  (this is what it does when it works well).

  Under Wayland it works well (well, the tablet buttons don't work under
  Wayland but this is unrelated).

  PS I reported this bug against the Wacom X driver but was told it's
  really related to mutter (https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-
  wacom/issues/148).
