Getting Evolution to sync on 6.06

[wastrel]

So what I've been doing is manually running gpilotd before each sync. 
This is because gpilotd tends to hang and crash and generally screw up,
and since it's persistent it will remain hung up like that preventing
further sync until you take action.  

Using the "restart daemon" from the pilot gnome panel applet may not
work, if the thing is solid hung up it simply won't respond.

To run gpilotd manually:

turn off the gnome pilot applet (remove from panel)  
killall gpilotd (if that doesn't work - use kill -9)

now just type gpilotd at the terminal.

Now you can sync, it works for me the majority of the time, when I get
a crash or hang I ctrl-c and try again.

Works for me but I sure do hope the devs get this fixed soon :]  

Cheers!
