Ok, the applet work. I've defined a new device. If I press sync just 
after I launch gpilotd, the zire communicates, but gpilotd send this 
message :
--
(gpilotd:28741): gpilotd-WARNING **: Unknown pilot, no userID/username 
match 22506
gpilotd-Message: setting PILOTRATE=57600

(gpilotd:28741): gpilotd-WARNING **: pi_accept_to: Connection timed out

(gpilotd:28741): gpilotd-WARNING **: pi_accept_to: timeout was 2 secs
--

I allready have a username on the palm, and I thought the applet could 
get it. But when I ask to get the Id from the pilot, I obtain a popup 
box telling :
'Unknown pilot - no pilots matches ID -1074534108
Use gnomecc to set pilot's ID'

I'm a bit confused with these IDs...
