Just discovered that if I switch on my Wacom Cintiq while the settings panel is on screen, the panel shows the tablet for a split second, and immediately returns to 'No tablet detected'

After reboot the tablet shows up in my Wacom settings panel.
However, the stylus can only control the cursor on the main screen, while calibration makes no sense.

This is fixed as per Ubuntu 18.04
