Hi again,

glad to hear things are mostly working now.

I suspect this is another problem due to your install from source.
Maybe this would be fixed by logging-in again?

the conduit decides when to 'slow sync' - you can't control it.  As far
as I know, the 'slow sync' is only done if the previous sync for your
PDA was with a different desktop.

Not sure what is causing this, but I suspect either a conflict between
your install and your distribution install of gnome-pilot, or else
gpilotd has crashed or hung for some other reason, blocking launch of
the config applet.

This could be due to a problem with the address or datebook conduit
'crashing' the sync before the memo sync gets to run.  I don't know what
you mean by "Memo sync happens (but not works really)".  You can get
more info by running 'gpilotd' from a terminal window (kill running
copies first).

Did you disable the address/datebook sync for the Treo650, or just the
Treo680?  Remember, these settings are per-PDA.
