It would sure be nice if distros would give sane permissions to pilot
devices, but that's another issue entirely.
There's actually 2 problems here. Older versions of KPilot didn't deal
well with weird Palm devices that trigger an immediate connection to the
PC when you dock them. That's why you have /dev/ttyUSB{0,1} and
/dev/ttyUSB{2,3}, I believe. KPilot from KDE 3.5.10 or greater should
not have this problem.
The second problem is the device permissions problem. The solution for
that should be either a udev rule as Jon posted, or adding yourself to
the "dialout" group.
I think this bug can be closed.
(I'm the KPilot developer/maintainer... sorry I didn't introduce myself
properly... =;))
