Re: [Evolution] Transferring Contacts

[Etienne Tourigny <et omeo ca>]

You must do 'killev' first from a terminal on both machines as the
wombat process (which holds the Contacts information) is running.  This
way the recent changes are synced to disk.  After that a copy of the
Contacts directory should do it.

First note: this should be in the FAQ? (is it?)

Second note (to evo hackers): couldn't the wombat process sync to disk
every now and then (say 15 minutes or user-configurable value or even on
every change) so that you wouldn't have to do a killev before copying
Contacts and Calendar files?
