[SLE] gpilot-applet not working (hangs) :( was Re: [SLE] Re: How to start gpilot-applet/gpilotd?

Yeah, you don't run panel applets from the command line. Right-click
your GNOME panel, select Add to Panel and then scroll down until you
find Pilot Applet.

Well, now I have gpilot-applet in my menu bar, but the thing still
doesn't work. Here's the signs:

1) if I put the pilot into sync mode, sometimes it says "fatal
exception" and I have to do a hard reset on it. Most often, however, it
simply times out without establishing communication.

2) If, after putting the pilot into sync mode, I run "pilot-xfer -L" I
get a successful beep out of the pilot, and the pilot-xfer command
reports a bunch of databases.

3) Without regard to having run pilot-xfer, if I've attempted any
sync,the gpilot-applet is hung--I can't get it to bring up it's little
control window, and it doesn't refresh its icon in the menu bar
properly. Furthermore, I can't log out; I have to switch to VT1 log in
as root and shutdown from there.

What gives? clearly the host OS is working fine, as pilot-xfer works,
but gpilot-applet doesn't want to play ball, even to the extent of
hanging up in some way that I don't know how to debug.

thanks again for any help, this is really dragging out and I appreciate
everyone's patience.

Cheers,
Simon
