I don't use KPilot - I use Gnome and Evolution
I would presume that KPilot has a loop that looks periodically for
presence of /dev/pilot and upon finding it, then begins communication.
I honestly don't know what you mean by having to 'reset' Kpilot to get
it to work. Perhaps there is a bugzilla entry about Kpilot not working
as expected.
