I'll try, although I'm not much into running GTK apps in KDE :-)

Anyway, my intentions with the first post was to point out "this"
connection problem, in case it was useful for improving libmtp.
I don't really care much about having to use the mtp-detect trick to
make Amarok or Qlix work, actually. And I guess it would be useful for
other people who try to write MTP-compatible software for linux.
