I wasn't aware they were missing. I did see more tools in settings for 
monitor colour setup in KDE than in xfce as happens, as well as settings 
for tablets (the drawing kind). That was one of the pluses of KDE over 
xfce that I forgot to mention. The trouble we have had in the past is that 
no one had a monitor colorimeter to test these things with, though I am 
pretty sure we have people with tablets (and I need to get one for my 
son). Flat monitors don't change colour as fast or as much as crts (which 
change with the weather) but they do chnage over time and for that matter 
are not factory calibrated. (at least not the $90 Walmart specials I use)

In any case, I think finding and adding these packages might be something 
we would have to deal with in any DE. Colord was not in XFCE either and 
there seems to be no wacomtablet in the ubuntu repos period. There are a 
number of libs etc. under wacom though. We do include xsetwacom and there 
is a kcm-wacomtablet somewhere (maybe that is what I saw in kde settings)
