Re: Starting gnome-pilot minimised to tray / getting usb: sync to work first time

[Jamie Dow <jamie dow pobox com>]

OK. Thanks, Matt, that's helpful.
Is there an equivalent way of adding *that* applet when in KDE. When I choose add Applet to the panel, it offers me a list of KDE native applets, but not the pilot applet you mention. It's not obvious how to add it ......

for now, I'm going with a little script in my Autostart folder to start the daemon. But I'm liking the panel option, if there's a way of getting it to work.

Cheers
Jamie

I don't think I shed quite enough light yet :)

There are three components to gnome-pilot:
  o  gpilotd: the daemon
  o  configuration applet: the GUI for changing settings.  This can
     be launched from Evolution under Edit->Synchronization Options...
  o  panel applet: This shows status on the panel when you are
     synchronizing and a progress window.  Adding this to the panel,
     as described in my last mail, should mean gpilotd starts when
     you start your gnome-session.

Matt Davey		You can't have everything.  Where would you put it?
