Hm, if it depends on Gnome being running, and Gnome runs for each session
(not a global daemon), then you need to make it run when you start Gnome
(and kill it when you stop Gnome). Maybe add "{sleep 2 ; gpilotd; } &" to
~/.xsession just before it calls Gnome? This may be way off, as I don't
use Gnome. If Gnome has a list of "processes I want to run every session"
that would be even better.
