Description of Problem: The gpilot-applet program isn't included in gnome-pilot anymore. This is a pity because the applet is very handy to temporarily disable gpilotd, e.g. for running jpilot or one of the command line tools from the pilot-link package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-pilot-0.1.65-3 How Reproducible: Always: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to gnome-pilot package from the beta Actual Results: Applet missing. Expected Results: Applet still there. Additional Information: If you don't want to require gnome-core for gnome-pilot, how about splitting off the applet into its own gnome-pilot-applet package?
Created attachment 63665 [details] SPEC file which splits off gpilot-applet into own subpackage
The problem is that the applet hasn't been ported to GNOME2 and thus doesn't work with the panel in GNOME 2. And porting the applet and nothing else may lead to its own pile of problems :/
I skimmed through the gnome-pilot list archives and learned that Frank Belew <frb@ximian.com> apparently has ported gnome-pilot to Gnome2, but wiuthout any traces in CVS so far. Shall I ask him what's up with it?
Unless it's released as something other than CVS snapshots, there's no chance of it getting in the next release. And I have concerns about it actually then continuing to work with evolution since I don't believe that bonobo components from GNOME 1.4 and GNOME 2 can actually talk to each other.
