Do you know unison?
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Not for use in kde. But for use with kde.
I use unison for 2 years for syncronizing my KDE addressbook, calendar, 
mailfolder< and parts of my home directory from my university account to my 
home computer.
I have to stop kaddressbook, korganizer and kmail for syncronisation but with 
this kioslave approach this is not better.
Unison uses the rsync algorythm and also worked well with my old isdn 
connection.
Donwside: It is written in objective ??? (not C), I don't remember anymore. 
But I for myself have not heard about this language before. And If you want 
to build your own unison binary you have to make a compiler first ...
And even worse it is GPL'ed code not usable for integration in, say KDE.
The static gui-less binaries work well on solaris and linux. Hav not tried 
others.

Just for those people around there who want to sync and don't need wizzards to 
edit a text configuration file. ;-)
