Ubuntu – Disable touch of the tablet in Ubuntu Unity 14.04

14.04bambootouchpadwacom

I've searched beforehand and the only suggestion I've found is this one but it doesn't work, at least not on my system (Ubuntu Unity 14.04 x64).

I need to disable the touch on my WACOM Bamboo Manga CTH-470 tablet so only the pen tip and eraser are recognized and not my hand when I accidentally touch it.

I know of this temporary solution:

xsetwacom --list

to list the output of the tablet (example)

inoki@innerdistance-Satellite-L650:~$ xsetwacom --list
Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Pen stylus id: 11 type: STYLUS
Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch id: 12 type: TOUCH
Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Pen eraser id: 16 type: ERASER
Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad id: 17 type: PAD

then

xsetwacom --set # touch off

Using

inoki@innerdistance-Satellite-L650:~$ xsetwacom --list | grep TOUCH | cut -d ' ' -f 8
TOUCH
inoki@innerdistance-Satellite-L650:~$

has shown only the "TOUCH" word exactly as above.

I need to make it permanent, so I don't have to insert the command every time I want to work with my tablet.
