It was when I ugraded, I have version 1.2.0-1.ximian.1 which is
definitely installed through Red Carpet...
Perhaps you can try a different server?  Sometimes the server makes a
lot of difference in Red Carpet...

Yes, they're all there...
I don't know if they were there before I tried to sync my Palm, because
I never had any reason to look there...

At first I had a problem getting the gpilotd to shut down so I could
press the HotSync button before starting it! I hope that was clear from
my previous post...
Since then I haven't rebooted and the gpilotd seems to be running
whenever I need it...
I do have the gpilotd-applet installed and running in my panel. Are you
using Gnome?

As far as I can remember I've only had to try twice to get the Palm to
sync until now.  And even then I might have been pushing a little bit
too much, trying to get everything up and running in under 30 secs. :)
