  Well they are configuration, and ideally  you only need to setup them 
up once. If you have gpilotd running (via panel_applet) you shouldn't
need to start gnomecc again. However I will agree with you the current 
state of capplet for each conduit is not very good and becoming
unmanagable. I have some ideas to change this to be part of a single
gui, perhaps a single capplet, perhaps a standalone app, or perhaps
both. A new pilotlink capplet is also in the works.

 What is "pilotcc"?
