...And after setting this up, gnome-pilot continues to die on my system.
These changes are convenient though in that:

1) They do set up permissions properly for syncing (solving a set of
udev issues)

2) Set up the /dev/pilot symlink to whatever ttyUSB port udev creates

Since the default is point to /dev/pilot for syncing, this is a nice
little addition. I heard that the crashes in kpilot and gnome-pilot were
upstream bugs that are yet to be fixed. Anyone have status on these -
gnome-pilot in particular?

Cheers,

Chris
