Okay, that should be fine.

Indeed, pilot-xfer worked for me too, because it uses pi_accept(), 
gnome-pilot used pi_accept_to() (with timeout); my patch made 
gnome-pilot use pi_accept().  And it still seems to timeout just fine.

Well, not as such, you have to get the .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz and .dsc 
files which constitute the source packages.  Then install 
build-essential, and run:

dpkg-source -x <package-version-debversion>.dsc
cd <package-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

This should leave a bunch of .debs in the directory above -- if it 
doesn't die first complaining about missing build dependencies.  (I 
don't know whether you'll need my pilot-link, it sounds like that part 
is working just fine for you.)  Also, depending on which version of the 
libs evolution was built against, you may need to rebuild that too; 
prepend to the above "apt-get source evolution" and build after you've 
installed the new (pilot-link and) gnome-pilot.

You can't add the applet to the panel?  I just right-click on the panel 
to give
