How to setup your Pilot/Evolution synchronization on RedHat 8.0
After installing RedHat 8.0 on my laptop i wanted to sync my pilot with Evolution. Not a big deal, heh? Too bad the conduits app is missing from the control-center. There's a Pilot/Handspring tool, but no link to the conduit setup, but you really need it to activate the conduits, otherwise no sync will occur.
I finally found it!
All you have to do (as root) is copy the file /usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/gnome-pilot.desktop to /usr/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/gnome-pilot-conduits.desktop
Change the properties of the launcher to be somthing like:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pilot Conduits Setup
Comment=Configure the Pilot Conduits Setup
Exec=gpilotd-control-applet --cap-id=1
Terminal=0
Icon=gnome-palm.png
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Settings;Utility;X-Red-Hat-Base;
-- or you could ofcourse create a new launcher in this directory.
Reload the control-center window, et voila!
This method works with Gnome2 + Redhat 8.0 + Metacity 2.4.1 (all default for RH 8.0)
