Thanks for the response.
Actually, I managed to get google sync working
after re-setting my Android 2.3.3 phone
(Settings=>Privacy=>Factory data reset).
I guess my phone had got into a funny state,
probably because of something I did.

I've even yum-installed akonadi-googledata,
and got my Google contacts into KMail/KAddressBook.

I've found the Android learning curve rather steep,
though very rewarding.
I'm still wondering if Google is Napoleon or Boxer ...
