Try to go to preferences, and enter "usb:0df7:0900" as device.

Can you do the same with "sudo igotu2gpx info" and report the results?

Well done Michael:
Looks like it needs to be run as root, is this to be expected ?

No, actually not :-). But I have virtualbox (the non-OSE version) installed, which allows access to all usb devices for all users that can use virtualbox. There is a bug for this, and the next version will include the necessary udev rules.

is there any hint on how to configure udev to give a named user group access rights?

It should be done for the Ubuntu packages (group plugdev), if it is not working this is a bug. For other distributions, you could take a look at debian/igotu2gpx.udev. What distribution are you using?

i'm using opensuse and i've already found how to do it just right now

find a file u like :)
in /etc/udev/rules.d
and add a following lines there

#igotU
SYSFS{idVendor}=="0df7", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0900", MODE="0666"

:)
