xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 6x9 pad" AbsWheelDown "key Down"
and
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 6x9 pad" AbsWheelUp "key Up"

fixes nonexistent scrolling

It's due to gnome-settings-daemon's wacom plugin defaults. This could also be a "wontfix", since you can map them as you please, and the driver defaults might not be the "correct" ones in the long run..

In "Map Buttons..." setting dialog I can set only keyboard value like "Up" and "Down"
How to set "Scroll Up" and "Scroll Down"? This setting available only for pen buttons.

Thanks for the tip about xsetwacom. Note the exact command will change depending on the tablet; you need to find out the device name first:

~$ xsetwacom --list devices | grep PAD
Wacom Intuos4 8x13 pad id: 18 type: PAD
~$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 8x13 pad" AbsWheelDown "key Down"
~$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 8x13 pad" AbsWheelUp "key Up"

Actually, "key Down" and "key Up" don't quite work like the mouse wheel, since it only affects the window that is in focus. This works better:

xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 8x13 pad" AbsWheelUp "Button 4"
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 8x13 pad" AbsWheelDown "Button 5"

@timo thank's for the tip!

sudo rm /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/wacom.gnome-settings-plugin
fixes the regression

@alex even this seems to be broken - try it after waking up from a suspend

@Martin, you're right. Thank you for the tip about deleting that file - it fixed it for me too. Now it works even after power-cycling my USB hub, which it didn't when using only xsetwacom.
