Ximian's RPMs (and I think the plain gnome-pilot sources) install gpilotd in
/usr/libexec/. Mandrake installs it in /usr/lib, so you should find it in
one of those places.

Close down gnome-pilot and try a 'kill bonobo-activation-server'. The file
that says where gpilotd is located is
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Pilot_Daemon.server. It might be in a different
path, but this is the standard path I've seen for all bonobo servers (which
gpilotd and gpilotd-control-applet use).

Hope this helps a little. Since you're already rebuilding the source,
you may want a patch for the memo conduit. gnome-pilot 2.0.10 crashes
on the memo conduit. Take a look back at the september and october archives
for a few threads on it. There'll be a patch in one of the threads.
