Thanks - that's useful information.  I've commented on and changed the
component of that bug to gtk2 accordingly.

So apart from that problem, how well is rawhide gnome-pilot working for
you?  For me, with a USB pilot it picks up on a sync about 50% of the
time (possibly the timing issues suggested by Nigel Metheringham), and
when it does, the UI appears and appears to run the conduits correctly.
Backing up appears to work, but synchronization doesn't seem to be
actually synchronizing - only calendars seem to sync OK.
