I'll give that a try, although I generally frown on replacing individual KDE 
components because of how tightly they're interdependent.

No, I don't.  And there's no "kpilotDaemon" process created either.  In fact, 
the last bit of debugging output from kpilot is:

	startDaemonIfNeeded                                 (kpilot.cc:213)
	startDaemonIfNeeded: Daemon status is

and then nothing at all.  It looks almost as if getDaemon().ok()  is never 
returning.

Yes, but there's a medium-fast loop in kpilotlink.cc until I hit the button, 
and then it starts again after the hotsync completes:
