The evolution-pilot package was not available through red carpet when I
installed it.  You need this package to put the conduits in gnome-pilot.

Do you have the Evolution Conduits, you should be able to check through
the GnomePanel.  Look for EAddress, etc.

gpilotd tends to sleep or get defunct on my machine.  I just kill the
process and restart it in a terminal so I can see the output.  Try this.

$> killall gpilotd
$> gpilotd

now press the sync button.  Sometimes it takes a while to wake the
cradle.
