	The KPilotDaemon in kdepim simply does not work with
pilot-link-0.12.0-0.preX. Even the author of pilot-lin admits on his web
site that pilot-link-0.12.0-0.preX is broken. While kdepim
intermittently appears to work with pilot-link-0.12.0-0.preX, it is
secretly corrupting the data on your PALM.
	Until we get a pilot-link-0.11.8-compat RPM, your only alternative is
to grab the FC3 SRPM for pilot-link, rebuild it on your FC4 box, remove
the unneccessary dependency from kde-pim the kdepim spec and rebuild it,
install both and ignore the whining from other packages which are
spec-ed with a dependency on pilot-link-0.12.0-0.preX.
	That's what I did and it has Just Worked for nearly 2 months without
any side-effects.

	Joe
