I ended up writing myself a little wrapper script to do it for me. It
kills off gpilotd, and runs the gpilotd-control applet (which in turn
restarts the gpilotd process cleanly for me).
With this set up tied to a launcher, I basically hit the icon, mash the
sync button on the cradle and get on with my life. Works every time
thusfar.
Thanks for the help.
