gnome-pilot can't see my palm V (jpilot can)

[Matt Price <matt price utoronto ca>]

Hi,

I've been happily running gnome-pilot & evolution on debian sid for a
while, and my palm v has synced pretty well.  Unfortunately my
ocmputer died & I upgraded both hard and software, and I'm now running
Ubuntu dapper (gnome-pilot 2.0.13-0ubuntu16 is the package version).
My palm is an old Palm V which connects over USB using a Belkin
Serial-to-USB cable.  

dmesg shows that the device is recognized, the handspring/visor module
is loaded, and /dev/ttyUSB0 is created.  Jpilot, and I htink also
kpilot, can connect quite happily (kpilot wants to erase all my data,
but jpilot syncs perfectly).  I'd really like to use gnome-pilot,
though, but unfortunately gpilotd dies when I press the hotsync
button with a gtk-warning "cannot open display". [that's actually on a
good run; sometimes it just sits there repeating:

(gnome-pilot:11574): gpilotd-WARNING **: pi_accept_to: Connection
timed out

(gnome-pilot:11574): gpilotd-WARNING **: pi_accept_to: timeout was 2
secs
gpilotd-Message: setting PILOTRATE=9600

anyway I'm tyring to figure out why jpilot can connect when gpilotd
can't.  Can you folks point me in the right direction?

thanks,

Matt
