Hey, that (IrDA) is cool. I've never had reports of it working before, and I 
think my IR dongle got lost in moving sometime.

Definitely bugs.

There was a period where the editing wasn't working but the UI didn't reflect 
it. Then the UI reflected it. And then we fixed the editing functions. I'd 
suggest you get the latest stable KPilot for KDE 3.1 from the KPilot website 
and compile that. There's instructions and everything.

Yes. That's a known bug in 4.3.9.

Installing KPilot from source - or compiling (parts of) kdepim from source - 
is a more effective approach.
