I tested the codeyard KPilot on Kubuntu Edgy - it works!
I few duplicate entries in my Calendar and TODO but this is surely because I 
have been sync'ing to a windows box in the meantime.

So...it works! I do not know what is broken in the Edgy distro. But I am very 
glad to have my Palm up and running again!

Just one problem. I cannot start the KPilot GUI from the tray icon.
kpilotDaemon complains:
"kpilotDaemon: WARNING: [void PilotDaemon::slotRunKPilot()] : Couldn't start 
KPilot! Could not find service 'kpilot'."

Any ideas?

Thanks to you all for the help - it is much appreciated.

regards,
paul.
