The default layout in gnomecal is pretty nice.  I am using the latest
after wrestling with a few minor compile issues here.  The gnomecard
app seems to execute without the icons on the top here anymore at all. 
I used to get them every other launch.  AFter using a palm pilot 5 for
awhile and backing up stuff using pilot-link, I would like to state the
obvious.  What is needed is a centralized PIM/addressbook, etc which
would provide the desktop interface for the linux world that would
allow full synch of the palm pilot series.  I see pieces here and there
and I just cannot get pilotmanager to work at all.  I could use ical
and have some of it; but I tend to want it all.  So, I now use vmware
to run a win98 session to synch my pilot with the palm desktop.

I have looked at Kpilot and organizer and it gets close.  I would like
to see a program with the interface of gnomecal integrate and offer
pilot synching all the way including moving addresses to a linked
gnomecard.

Thanks anyways for a nice pim and functional addressbook.  Its much
appreciated. The 1.0.7 release offers a lot of nice stuff and it seems
that gnomecard is much more stable.
