[Bug 31898] Sync with PalmV over serial is inconsistent at best (Dapper)

[Peter Whittaker]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-pilot (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
ThinkpadA20m. Dapper Flight3+. Pilot applet correctly configured
(AFAICT). Hit sync on cradle, gets as far as identifying user, sometimes
gets farther, sometimes times out.

If it gets farther, then sometimes progress dialog appears, sometimes
not. If not, pilot applet crashes, is never reloaded.

If progress dialogs appear, never have any useful text, progress
indicators fly back and forth but never show anything useful.
