[Bug 25653] Re: gnome-pilot needs to be ported to new udev world order

[dguido]

A hotsync with my Tungsten E2 times out with the above packages.  I installed both with dpkg and restarted.  The pilot-applet appeared black and white as soon as I entered it into my tray and never changed colors through this whole process.

I put the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", NAME{ignore_remove}="pilot", MODE="666"

A second time around I tried mounting /proc/bus/usb and got a really screwed up error message in gnome.  It went something like this.
Warning (gpilotd)
The base directory ?^(bleh)(bleh)u?(bleh)(bleh)?^...
...
...
Please fix it or use gnomecc to choose another directory

The (bleh)'s are what I think are international characters that don't show up correctly.  It's a box with 4 hex digits inside them.

Thank you for your effort, please keep going!  I'd love to get my palm sync'ing to Ubuntu.
