And frankly no one will care if your idea of a bug report is to say "it
doesn't work".

Gnome pilot definitely has some problems - like apparently no one
working on it, and a bugzilla list which needs serious triage work (or
just deleting in most cases).  However it does basically work.

The major current problem appears to be related to people who are trying
to build it (with various patches) against pilot-link 0.12 pre-releases,
which are not intended to be production releases (Fedora FC4 in
particular shipped with a config which was broken in almost every
interface wrt to palm sync).

If you are going to gripe about bugs be specific.  Otherwise people will
just ignore you.  [and with the blizzard of mails you have been sending
out today that might be a good thing]
