quick check of gnome-control-center shows that the stylus type translates
into an icon name, which is a svg graphic. and that is displayed in the
control-center.

so yeah, if the Pro series is just one more in the line of the usual, then
Ping's patch is certainly right. if the Pro is a new type of pen that's
significantly different (like Clasic vs Airbrush), then we should have a new
type for it.
