[SLE] Re: How to start gpilot-applet/gpilotd?--was[SLE] Evolution & palm won't talk

Ah-ha, now I see what you mean. Evolution itself doesn't do the
sync,
it provides conduits to gnome-pilot.

If you're using GNOME, the easiest way to make sure it's running is
to
add the Pilot Applet to your panel. Otherwise,
have /opt/gnome/lib/gnome-pilot/gpilotd running.

Well I think this moved me forward. But it's not solved yet :(

When I try to start gpilot-applet, nothing happens. I tried to find a
manual page, but drew a blank. I simply typed
"/opt/gnome...../gpilot-applet", and the program starts, stays "alive"
for a minute or two, then silently returns to the command prompt.

I also tried running gpilotd in isolation, and that generated a bunch
of output, but nothing that seemed to mean anything, and neither of
them caused any syncing to happen.

Where should I look for docs on gpilotd or gpilot-applet? Or is it
obvious what I'm doing wrong now?

Thanks again,
Simon
