I've been meaning to ask about this - why is it that kpilot doesn't just 
monitor the USB connections and see when a palm pilot device is attached to 
it? The Linux (and probably other OSes) way with the user choosing the USB 
port is IMHO completely broken. It gets even worse when you have several 
machines, and use different USB devices for them.

I really think it sucks that I have to attach my USB devices to the same ports 
for them to work. If KPilot could work around this issue, that would be 
really great.

What I'd want is that I should only choose USB connection for my device, and 
KPilot would look for all connections to find the device when I plug it in. 
No matter which port I would attach it to. A side effect would be that this 
actually works better for the sync on my T3, since this only registers the 
USB connection during syncing, and KPilot isn't thrilled about this.

/me opens a wish in bugzilla.

Bo.
