Bummer.

It does look like the kernel side is ok; I'm surprised you aren't seeing
more gpilotd messages.  Try firing up gpilotd in a console window before
starting the control-applet - this may reveal more messages:

        killall gpilotd
        /usr/libexec/gpilotd
        
and in another terminal:
        gpilotd-control-applet

Send in the console messages for gpilotd and the applet.

Are you getting any connection messages from gpilotd.  Any timeout
message?

What??  Couldn't parse that sentence.
