the only way I can make the desktop recognize a usb0 is by rebooting
it with the phone already connected.



That definitely does not work for me on uImage.bin-2.6.37-qtmoko - I can 
watch /var/log/messages on my desktop and there is no sign of detecting 
the USB connection . .




That is not reliable either, sometimes I have to reboot the desktop
several times. Since I switched from ubuntu lucid to squeeze (on the
desktop) around the same time as going from v26 to v34/35 on the
phone, I'm not 100% on which one has the problem :)



v35 (and v34) is quite reliable for me except for a minor glitch - 
immediately after rebooting, I can make a ssh connection but then it 
almost always hangs after a few seconds.  If I reconnect again, it then 
lasts indefinitely (unless the FR goes into standby mode - which it does 
sometimes when it shouldn't - ie all the power settings are "off" for 
"plugged in".


Regards,

Phil.

Here's an illuminating article about a (well known) alternative to an open 
phone.
