"setuid" on #pilot-link pointed me to that patch.

To make a long story short: It works for me.

The detailed story:

  1. fetched the gnome-pilot CVS sources
  2. added your patch
  3. copied the debian/ directory from the official Debian package
     (2.0.10)
  4. patched autogen.sh to use automake 1.8
  5. ran "autogen.sh --help" (I didn't want to run configure at that
     stage yet)
  6. ran "fakeroot debian/rules binary"
  7. installed the package
  8. hotsynced with the "backup" conduit disabled - successfully.

Side note:

The "backup" conduit (and "pilot-xfer -b") together with the T|T3 get
in an endless loop when trying to back up the BatteryGraph stuff,
which is why I have to disable the backup.

For me, too.

Hehe... setuid had more problem building with it than I did, I think :)

Thanks a lot for patch, mail, help, etc.
