restarting gpilotd would have done the trick too, it's just easier to log
out/in.  Glad it's workin for ya.

Holy crap!

Well, I have to admit I didn't do *everything* you said, because I had done 
exactly what you mentioned before - but I *did* double check every file and 
permission and stuff.  The only thing I did was restart GNOME and it
freakin' 
worked!  ACK!  What's up with that?  

Actually, I only quickly tested gnome-pilot - and on my home box too (still
RH 
8, but I didn't do the rawhide updates yet, and evo is still at 1.0.8, not 
1.2 like at work).  I'll test evolution next, but no reason it shouldn't
work 
if gnome-pilot is working.  I'll return if I see issues moving forward.

Thanks a million.  I'd still like to know what the magic service was that 
wasn't picking up a change somewhere or something.  I thought gnome-pilot
was 
just a front end to pilot-link tools, which, as aforementioned, were
working.  

I REFUSE to fall into that Windows-ish 'if all else fails, restart X or 
reboot' mentality.  I WILL keep up with all of these changes and understand 
what's happening.  

Thanks again.
