"Cradle" is the device file that gnome-pilot should hook for
receiving/sending events from/to the pilot device.  In Linux, it will
typically be /dev/ttyUSB* in case of a USB connector or /dev/ttyS* in
case of a serial connector.  Also, unless and otherwise, you press the
hotsync button, the device-file will not be created.

A sample writeup for configuring USB Palm in FC3 is given in the
following link.

I have not tried kpilot + evolution.  Evolution's "Edit->Synchronization
options" invokes gpilotd-control-applet which in-turn starts the
gnome-pilot that runs like a daemon.  So, you don't normally required to
start anything else, but evolution.
