After some more playing around, I discovered that the timeout value
of 0 in gpilotd-control-applet was causing gpilot to hang at the end
of the sync. I changed that timeout to 4 seconds and now gpilotd
can perform multiple syncs without having to be killed and restarted.
I had changed it to 0 seconds due to another message somewhere
saying that was a recommended fix for some of these USB sync issues.
I rebooted just to see if that would help with the gpilotd GUIs...
and now it's working! I've done 5 correct syncs in a row via gnome-pilot's
standard GUI interfaces.
So it does appear that moving to the 2.6.17.x kernel is what corrected the
issue for me too.
