Sync MAL Once a Day checkbox has no effect

[Daniel Lyddy <sprocket PATH Berkeley EDU>]

All:

I am using the gnome-pilot-conduits-0.8-1mdk package with 
gnome-pilot-0.1.64-3mdk.  I also have the pilot sync applet enabled and 
running on my gnome panel.  I can access the MAL Conduit Setting Panel 
by right-clicking on the pilot sync applet and selecting "Conduit Settings."

This report is about the MAL Conduit Settings.  On my system, I can 
check or uncheck the "Only Sync MAL Once a Day" checkbox, but this has 
no effect.  Suppose the checkbox is checked to begin with.  If I uncheck 
it, click "OK", and then click "OK" again in the main conduit settings 
panel, the box should remain unchecked and Once-A-Day MAL Sync should be 
disabled.  However, on next sync the MAL Conduit reports "Already 
synched today."  Going back to the MAL Conduit Setting panel reveals 
that the "Once-A-Day" checkbox is still checked!

For some reason, this checkbox setting is not propagating to my 
~/.gnome/gnome-pilot.d/mal-conduit file.  Workaround is to hand edit 
this file and force the "once_a_day" setting to whatever you want.

P.S. The good news is that with this workaround, I am able to sync my 
Visor Deluxe with AvantGo (sync.avantgo.com, port 80).
