i'm not sure i can help you with the gnome-specific aspects, but in order to 
find the dev address of my handspring when i pushed the hotsync button, i 
just hit the button and watched /var/log/messages for what device the kernel 
assigned it.  then in kpiolot, i specified what the device name was and 
viola! everything just worked.
