[Evolution] Hot-sync problems with 1.5.6-20040407

["Peter N. Spotts" <pspotts alum mit edu>]

Folks,

Before posting this as a bug, I thought I'd check the experts first:

When trying to hot-sync my Palm M125 with Evolution's development version 1.5.6 (20040407 if I remember 
correctly), I get a connection, and my Palm shows a quick skip over addresses (tho I have more than 400) then 
shows that the datebook is syncing. Once the datebook is finished, the sync session cleans up and stops 
without syncing to-dos (or the hastily bypassed addresses). And no datebook data show up in Evolution. I've 
double-checked the settings in Evolution and on my Palm Pilot. They seem to be fine -- that is, all three 
major features are set to sync. I've even tried setting up an initial sync as pilot-to-Evolution only, rather 
than a full sync. Still doesn't work.

I know people (including me) had problems with gpilotd crashing on sync with 1.5.5, so clearly progress has 
been made, since the sync process on 1.5.6 at least doesn't crash. I do have some sync settings turned off in 
Evolution -- expenses, for example. But I'm not sure that should make any difference. Any thoughts on how to 
acutally make it work for real?

BTW, I'm running Evolution on SuSE 9.0.

Best,

Pete

P.S. If I try to do a clean install of Evolution 1.5.6, somehow it picks up setting information that I 
thought would have been cleared out with the previous uninstall. What file am I overlooking for a clean 
uninstall-reinstall?
