Yes, I use gpsbabel on a debian unstable box. I use a "frontend" that consists of a small shell script, that checks if the camera is plugged in, and if so copies the images to a folder in my gps directory. It is simple because it lacks any flexibility at all ;-)

#!/bin/sh

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
gpsbabel -i garmin -o gpx /dev/ttyS0 ~/gps/${DATE}w.gpx
gpsbabel -t -i garmin -o gpx /dev/ttyS0 ~/gps/${DATE}t.gpx

if `grep -q sda1 /proc/partitions` ; then
    mount /mnt/camera
    mkdir -p ~/gps/${DATE}
    cp -a /mnt/camera/*/*/*.[Jj][pP]*[gG] ~/gps/${DATE}/
    umount /mnt/camera
fi
