udev is always running (/sbin/udevd).  It isn't a kde system service, so you
wouldn't see it there.

Yes, http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

This used to be included as part of the udev package.  Too bad it isn't
anymore.

I keep forgetting to try out kpilot under ubuntu.  I've been just syncing my
palm to my XP desktop for months.  You may need to go back to
trying /dev/pilot instead of /dev/ttyUSB*.
