[Per-Erik Westerberg]

I am currently using Evolution as email-client and it used to work to
sync the Palm with Evolution's addressbook, now nothing happens when I
press the sync-button. Since I was using RedHat before I guess that I
need to configure something (or use a good "USE=..." when compiling
Evolution) to make it work :-).
