To rotate the Intuos 5 for sinister left-handed people:
$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos5 M Pen stylus" Rotate half
$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos5 M Pen eraser" Rotate half
$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos5 M Pen cursor" Rotate half
$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos5 M Pen pad" Rotate half
To get these commands to run at startup, I added them to $HOME/.profile (after trying .bashrc and .Xsession, neither of which worked [running Xubuntu]).

Dual-screen Setup
(Updated 24 Feb 2013)
After getting an nVidia GPU, I had much more luck getting dual-monitors to work than with either AMD or Intel graphics. By default though the tablet will span across all monitors. If you want to reduce this to a single monitor, do this:
$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos5 M Pen stylus" MapToOutput HEAD-0
Note: if you're not using nVidia drivers, the output of xrandr will give you the names of your screens, rather than HEAD-0, HEAD-1, etc. as shown above.
Do you have Xinerama turned on? If so, how did you take care of some apps not realizing that you've modified which screen "paint" is supposed to happen on? For instance, I have mine set to HEAD-0, I can use the tablet to select menus, and paint etc but when I actually try to draw, it is as if its trying to draw in the other screen. Broken :(
