[jgoerzen complete org: Bug#199628: gnome-pilot: Cannot configure new device]

[Mike Markley <mike markley org>]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the below? (Excluding, of course, #4
and 5, which are basically a matter of updating the README). I'm unable
to reproduce locally.

Package: gnome-pilot
Version: 2.0.9-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

gnome-pilot is completely unable to configure my Palm for use with Gnome.

After I solved the USB problem (see previous report), then I would get the
error:

"Unknown pilot - no pilots matches ID" with a large negative number.

Some points about this:

1. This error occured whether or not I told it I had synced the pilot
before.  (In fact, I had, and it did have a user name and ID already.)

2. I tried changing my user ID to something different using install-user,
and that did not help.

3. dlpsh showed the user ID correctly, and differently than the gnome-pilot
druid.

4. "gnomecc" no longer exists.

5. gnome-control-center forces me into the EXACT SAME druid as I was using,
   so that bit of advice is no help whatsoever.

I finally managed to get it to work by finding a configuration file out on
the 'net, adapting it to my situation, and then running the configuration
tool.
