Thanks JP.  Am I right that I can now only sync by first hitting the
HotSync button and then starting gpilotd?  Is there a secret switch
somewhere so I can tell gpilotd to keep polling the USB interface?

It would have been nice if this were also in the Evolution 1.2
relnotes--we don't all subscribe to the gnome-pilot-list.

Best,
