Your issue is almost certainly due to changes in hal that occurred after
the release of gnome-pilot 2.0.15. Take a look at this recent posting
for more info and a patch:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-pilot-list/2008-November/msg00001.html
You should raise a bug against OpenSuse.
By the way, a workaround is:
1. kill any running gpilotd
2. stop hald
3. configure your palm using 'gpilotd-control-applet'
4. restart hald
