Did you find that Bluetooth only worked the first time, and then you
have to restart gnome-pilot?

There are open Ubuntu bugs for both these issues.

The bluetooth bug is here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373507
I suspect it is caused by pilot-link bug #1872 for which a patch is
available.

The applet bug is caused by a change to one of the gnome libraries and
I've posted a patch to the ubuntu bug here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349650
This bug contains a patched .dsc so you may be able to compile it up
yourself.
