Apparently I've been out of the loop for awhile, I didn't realize the
latest CVS of synce could do this (makes me very happy!)...   Now if

I talked to a guy on the multisync list about the 1.4 problem (Bo
Lincoln <lincoln lysator liu se>) and here's what he said:

Anyways, if knew anything about gnome2 programming I'd get crackin' on this, unfortunately I'm not that good
