I was having a similar problem in Gimp, and in online drawing apps (mypaint was fine) using a monoprice tablet in Debian. The problem i was having was fixed during a routine system update...i think it may have been a bug in Gtk.  So maybe if you haven't run any updates lately that might be something to try.

Now it's a couple of months later and i still don't have those big troubles, although the pen is still a little jumpy in javascript drawing apps, and there is noticeable lag drawing in Gimp compared to the Wacom i used to have.  But Mypaint does just fine most of the time.  The only issue i seem to have in mypaint is that it doesn't seem to make lines if i plug in the tablet after mypaint is already started.  And in all apps the cursor sometimes jumps across the screen, although not making big ugly marks in the process like it used to do....that is only a very minor annoyance.
