Re: Synching with two computers

[Jay Phelps <jayphelps austin rr com>]

The multiple todo's seems to occur with me *only* if I open Evolution, load gpilotd and go do anything with Tasks in Evolution before I sync.  If I do not even look at my tasks before I sync the issue does not seem to arise.  I do not have enough testing data on this as yet so take this with a big grain of salt.
